It does? Man, I gotta follow it more.. Usually I would, but with this
particular box, I've been trying to keep it rather 'RedHat Pure' and using
their RPM's for everything..

Nope, I looked, and it just plain doesn't install some of the needed mysql
include files, particularly mysql_version.h which DBD::Mysql uses during
configuration, and errmsg.h, which is used during the compilation.

My end solution was to do the first step for all of the databases, then
rpm -e the mysql packages. I then pulled the rpm's from mysql.com directly,
which they conviently supply. After I installed those, I found I actually
didn;t even need to restore the DB's, becouse the -e left all of the ones it
didn't install where they where. All up and running with 3.22 now, but I
just might start messing with 3.23 to play with the replication support..
How good is it? I know Andover.net is throwing money at mysql.com to
bring transactional capabilities to MySQL. I wonder if that is some of the
fallout from that arangment..
