    74 MySQL Technical Reference for Version 4.0.3 2.2.4  Installation Layouts This section describes the default layout of the directories created by installing binary and source distributions. A binary distribution is installed by unpacking it at the installation location you choose (typically `/usr/local/mysql') and creates the following directories in that location: Directory Contents of directory `bin' Client programs and the mysqld server `data' Log les, databases `include' Include (header) les `lib' Libraries `scripts' mysql_install_db `share/mysql'   Error message les `sql-bench' Benchmarks A source distribution is installed after you con gure and compile it.  By default, the instal- lation step installs les under `/usr/local', in the following subdirectories: Directory Contents of directory `bin' Client programs and scripts `include/mysql'Include (header) les `info' Documentation in Info format `lib/mysql' Libraries `libexec' The mysqld server `share/mysql'   Error message les `sql-bench' Benchmarks and crash-me test `var' Databases and log les Within an installation directory, the layout of a source installation di ers from that of a binary installation in the following ways:    The  mysqld  server  is  installed  in  the  `libexec'  directory  rather  than  in  the  `bin' directory.    The data directory is `var' rather than `data'.    mysql_install_db   is  installed  in  the  `/usr/local/bin'  directory  rather  than  in `/usr/local/mysql/scripts'.    The  header   le  and  library  directories  are  `include/mysql'  and  `lib/mysql'  rather than `include' and `lib'. You can create your own binary installation from a compiled source distribution by executing the script `scripts/make_binary_distribution'. 2.2.5  How and When Updates Are Released MySQL is evolving quite rapidly here at MySQL AB and we want to share this with other MySQL users.  We try to make a release when we have very useful features that others seem to have a need for.
