empty variable name while installing mysql.

Here's what I'm trying to do:

Code:
make install clean WITH_XCHARSET = all

And the error:

Code:
make: *** empty variable name. Stop.

Any suggestions?
 
Don't put spaces in "WITH_XCHARSET=all" perhaps?

Or, I think you could pass it as # env WITH_XCHARSET=all make install clean
 
I tried without spaces but not the second suggestion. My partner suggested a different installation method using an install script. Thankyou for the help, but we are going to try this other way for now.
 
umm why does this say "[Solved]"? I said that stuff did not work :(.

Can I just get some assistance installing mysql please?

The needed rights according to what I am reading are these:

Code:
chown -R mysql /var/ b/mysql/
Code:
chown-R mysql /var/db/mysql/

It also says I must do this:

Code:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *. * TO root ''@'%'[ ENTER]

IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password' WITH GRANT OPTION; IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password' WITH GRANT OPTION;
 
I am aware btw about no spaces in that first code box. The page was translated with google and added spaces. Couldn't edit my reply so I had to double post.
