Using Latest Build of MySQL Cluster

NDB/J

When using the Java connector, : NDB/J, to program NDB applications, set NDBJ_HOME to enable the sample programs to find the NDB/J libraries:

# Normal User Installation (bash)
export NDBJ_HOME=/home/yourusername/.mysql/

# Root User Installation (bash)
export NDBJ_HOME=/usr/local/mysql

Current Issues

This script currently installs version 5.1.22 of cluster. When bug 31315 is fixed, the default table type will be changed to 'ndb'.
You may get the following error if your machine has hostname "localhost". To resolve this, use hostname to enter a hostname for the machine. Another way to enter a hostname is to edit /etc/sysconfig/network (fedora) or /etc/hostname (debian/ubuntu).
```
ERROR: 1062  Duplicate entry 'localhost-' for key 1
```
