Actually, in my redhat 7.1 distribution, it has only mysql-VERSION.rpm, mysql-server-VERSION.rpm and mysql-devel-VERSION.rpm only, it's missing it's client rpm. I checked with my previous 7.0 cd set, it's missing the client too. So is it possible to install without client.
Now i'm tring it with latest tar.gz, and following the online tutorial http://perl.about.com/ but when i run the command "/support-files/mysql.server start", it says permission denied problem. I tried to execute as root and the created mysql user, but the same error returns. Can anybody explain me how to install latest mysql tar.gz on RedHat linux 7.1,step by step, or send me a link to a good tutorial. V.k.
