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.
Yes, but neither of those RPMs you list above contain the client libraries.
The -client- RPM contains the client programs. You want to install
the -devel- RPM to get libraries and mysql_config for programming support.
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
