Installing MySQL on Linux - Problem with 'make'.
After I configure MySQL I type 'make' and get the following error:

No target specified and no makefile found. Stop.

What do I do? Someone told me I was in the wrong directory, but that's not it. Please help, I'm very new to Linux.

The recommended way to install MySQL on Linux is by using an RPM file. The MySQL RPMs are currently being built on a RedHat Version 6.2 system but should work on other versions of Linux that support rpm and use glibc.

But anyway.... how are you configuring?...do you get errors?

I think I'm configuring from source. Like I said, I'm very new, so I'm using a totorial. So far I've downloaded the file, moved it to the /usr/local/ directory, and typed:

gunzip < mysql-3.23.52.tar.gz | tar xfv
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
make

And that's when I get the error. I have KDE, would that a make a difference?
