I have a CentOS-3 (RHEL 3 equivalent) with MySQL 4.1.9 installed from the MySQL site. The RPMs I'm using are:
MySQL-server-4.1.9-0 MySQL-client-4.1.9-0 MySQL-devel-4.1.9-0 MySQL-Max-4.1.9-0 MySQL-shared-compat-4.1.9-0 I see that 4.1.14 is the latest version. When I went to download the latest RPMs, I got confused though. There are 4.1.14 versions of all of the above, except for shared-compat, for which there is only a 4.1.13 version - is it acceptable that that RPM be a rev back from the rest? Also, I see that there are glibc 2.3 versions of the above. I have glibc-2.3.2-95.33 installed. I'm not currently running the glibc 2.3 version of 4.1.9. Is there any particular reason I should switch to the RPMs for glibc 2.3, or not? Can I go directly from the one to the other, during an RPM upgrade, with no issues? Anything else I didn't think of? :) -- -ste
