2.1.0-RC3 install error

I’m not sure what to try next to solve this problem. While doing a fresh install of RC3 I’m getting this error when testing the database server connection:

[2011-04-15 14:54:54] (ERROR in xPDO::connect @ /var/www/html/core/xpdo/xpdo.class.php : 342) SQLSTATE[HY000] [2019] Can’t initialize character set (path: /usr/share/mysql/charsets/)

The Apache error log shows:

Character set ’’ is not a compiled character set and is not specified in the ’/usr/share/mysql/charsets/Index.xml’ file

The mysql command line status shows ver 14.14 dist 5.5.10, with server/db charset set to latin1 and client/conn set to utf8. Should I be seeing a default character set in the request during setup?

PHP version 5.3.6
pdo_mysql 5.0.91

Thanks!

Hi, just bumping this because I’m getting the same error with RC4.

2.0.8 installs and works fine.

I’m on PHP 5.3.6 with MySQL 5.1.56
