Yeah, the MySQL rpms are incompatible with the mysql rpms (which are done by RedHat). Apparently the two camps each think the other's file system layout and package organization is "weird" :-). My last question on the topic never brought out a response from anyone concerned.. Unfortunately, the solution isn't as simple as "just delete mysql* and install MySQL*", because RedHat has other packages that depend on the "mysql" RPMs, so you have to nuke those, too, and there aren't any replacement packages for those at the MySQL site. The best solutions for you, if you don't feel like dealing with the problems, are: 1. Go ahead and delete the rest of the dependent packages of "mysql" (like php-mysql-4.0.4pl1-9), and rebuild those from source if you need them, OR 1a. Remove just the "mysql-*" packages, but use the "--nodeps" option to disable the dependency checks for the other packages that depend on mysql. OR 2. Upgrade using the latest RedHat-build RPMs (the latest one I could find is the one with the RH 7.2 distribution, which is 3.23.41. Depending on how recent your libc, etc., are, this may well work with your distribution.. -- Shankar. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
