getting sql external error

[A Garr]

Hi,

I'm setting up a new test install from using version 10.6 from the svn.

I get the following error when I try to get past the setup.php page.

I'm using sql version 9.6.0.

How do I get around this?

Sorry, an error has occurred. 

Please go back and try something else.

MySQL 9.6 support is being added for release 11.0 due out in a couple of months. For now, use MySQL 8.*
