Hello all,

I have had built and installed the mariadb source code before, no hassles whatsoever.

I was trying to install it again but getting the following error when trying to "make install"

....... -- Installing: /usr/local/mysql/mysql-test/././var/tmp -- Installing: /usr/local/mysql/mysql-test/././var/tmp/mysqld.2 -- Installing: /usr/local/mysql/mysql-test/././var/tmp/mysqld.1.sock CMake Error at mysql-test/cmake_install.cmake:36 (FILE): file INSTALL cannot copy file "/home/sriram/Downloads/mariadb/10.0/mysql-test/./var/tmp/mysqld.1.sock" to "/usr/local/mysql/mysql-test/././var/tmp/mysqld.1.sock". Call Stack (most recent call first): cmake_install.cmake:119 (INCLUDE)

make: *** [install] Error 1

Did anyone get such error while installing and was able to solve it?

Yes, I believe this happened, because you've run the test suite in the build tree. I mean, if you simply build and install - it'll work. If you build, test, and then try to install - you'll get an error. mysql-test/var directory is created for tests, and if you delete it you'll be able to install just fine. I consider it a bug, mysql-test/var directory shouldn't break 'make install'. If you'd like, you can try to fix it :) Regards, Sergei
