After reading Jonathan Levin's article about infobright I decided I had to try Infobright. So I downloaded the 32-bit tarball. Normally I would have gone for a 64-bit build but those only came in RPM and DEB flavour. Then I tried to run infobright community edition (ICE) in a MySQL Sandbox, but that failed as the resolveip utility failed to give an answer for localhost. error while creating grant tables Neither host 'daniel-thinkpad' nor 'localhost' could be looked up with /home/dveeden/opt/mysql/4.0.7-ice/bin/resolveip Please configure the 'hostname' command to return a correct hostname.

I wanted to do some experimentation with Percona XtraDB Cluster (Galera) and I didn't want to use virtual machines. I'm already using MySQL Sandbox for many other projects so that's the natural choice. I've downloaded the tarball for Percona XtraDB Cluster 5.5.29 and I've extracted it to ~/opt/mysql/5.5.29-pxc. Then I've installed 3 nodes: make_sandbox 5.5.29-pxc -- --sandbox_port 4551 \ --sandbox_directory msb_5_5_29-pxc01  make_sandbox 5.5.29-pxc -- --sandbox_port 4552 \ --sandbox_directory msb_5_5_29-pxc02  make_sandbox 5.5.29-pxc -- --sandbox_port 4553 \ --sandbox_directory msb_5_5_29-pxc03  But when I try to start a node this error happens: 130327 14:21:03 [Note] WSREP: wsrep_load(): loading provider library '/home/dvee den/mysql/5.5.29-pxc/lib/libgalera_smm.so' 130327 14:21:03 [ERROR] WSREP: wsrep_load(): dlopen(): libssl.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 130327 14:21:03 [ERROR] WSREP: wsrep_load(/home/...
