If you are uncomfortable with RPM try
the following:
rpm -qa | grep mysql
rpm -qa | grep MySQL
rpm -ql MySQL-client*
Also red the maximum rpm manual:
slocate RPM; slocate rpm | grep pdf
I think mysqladmin might be under /usr/sbin.
And to find out where a file came from do
rpm -qf path-to-file.
Now pertaining to the fact that mysql
stuff is instlled all over the place
by the RPMs that is good but when you
try to install PHP it is impossible
to specify a single directory to
--with-mysql=dir. How then is it
possible to install mysql support
into PHP when everything is all
over the place? I red the PHP README
but found no answer and also found
that when given the --with-mysql flag
php 4.0.5 was not compiling on RHL6.2
due to missing files. Any feedback is
welcome. (soory about the text formatting.
MY console is currently 10x40!)
Thanks!
