I just upgraded Mysql to 4.1.4-0 on linux using the following:

MySQL-server-4.1.4-0.i386.rpm
MySQL-client-4.1.4-0.i386.rpm

So when i went to upgrade my perl DBI & DBD::mysql packages, it noticed that 
mysql_config was missing. My understanding is that mysql_config should be 
installed with the client libraries.

I looked at the /usr/bin directory before and after installing the client 
libs, and mysql_config is not there. Here is a diff output of
'ls -l /usr/bin/my *'
both before and after the client rpm was installed.

So the client rpm did install a bunch of things, but not the mysql_config 
executable. I'm rather confused by this. 

Perhaps i should go back to installing source distros.

Anybody seen anything like this?

thanks much
