At this point, you should have built and installed MySQL, or already have a
running MySQL, and you should have configured, built and installed {\bf
Bacula}. If not, please complete these items before proceeding.
Please note that the {\bf ./configure} used to build {\bf Bacula} will need to

If you upgrade MySQL, you must reconfigure, rebuild, and re-install
Bacula otherwise you are likely to get bizarre failures. If you
install from rpms and you upgrade MySQL, you must also rebuild Bacula.
You can do so by rebuilding from the source rpm. To do so, you may need
