All I had to do was rpm -Uvh --nodeps <pkg_name>
I have the MySQL AB RPMs running on Red Hat 9 just fine. I didn't have to force them at all.
I suspect you had to force it because you had MySQL installed already. The problem is, the Red Hat package is called "mysql", whereas the MySQL AB package is called "MySQL" -- they are different names in RPM's view, so files named the same in both packages cause a conflict.
If you had uninstalled the old MySQL RPMs and then installed the new ones, they wouldn't have required the --nodeps forcing argument.
did the server first, then the libraries and then client
You can give multiple RPM files to the rpm command:
$ rpm -ivh MySQL-*.rpm
You don't have to give the names in any particular order. The rpm program will figure out the correct order to install them.
