And the order path on your $PATH variable is also strange, unless you change it yourself. Try to type 'which mysql', you should get a file with a complete path. Then do an 'ls -lah' on that file, or in a single line, type the following in console: $> ls -lah `which mysql` Notice the backticks (it's the key left of 1), they are NOT quote. RDB -- Reuben D.
