Hi, 

Here is sinisa's comments ..

first run: SHOW VARIABLES command and you can see if charset is
supported or not. 

You can fix things if you can generate the Index file in charsets 
subdir of the /share/, which looks like this :

# sql/share/charsets/Index
#
# This file lists all of the available character sets.  Please keep this
# file sorted by character set number.

And you has to have .conf files that correspond to the above.
