Hi!

I compiled mysql 4.1.1 today and used the following config:

#v+ --with-character-set=latin1 \ --with-collation=latin1_german1_ci \ --with-extra-charsets=all #v-

./configure and make worked fine, but make test failed:

#v+ cd mysql-test ; ./mysql-test-run Installing Test Databases Removing Stale Files Installing Master Databases running ../sql/mysqld --no-defaults --bootstrap --skip-grant-tables
--basedir=. --datadir=./var/master-data --skip-innodb --skip-bdb
--language=../sql/share/english/ 031218 17:57:19 COLLATION 'latin1_german1_ci' is not valid for CHARACTER SET
'latin1' 031218 17:57:19 Aborting

031218 17:57:19 ../sql/mysqld: Shutdown Complete

Error executing mysqld --bootstrap Error: Could not install master test DBs make: *** [test] Error 1 #v-

Why is the collation not valid for charset latin1? It certainly should be...
