Hi Victor, I tried that initially and thought I had installed everything - RH Enterprise has the option in the GUI to install mysql - what it doesn't tell you is that it is the client and not the server. When you (eventually) find this out and try to install the server, problems occur because the server should be installed before the client (I think). So you then uninstall both server and client, then re-install the server. If sucessful, you still get problems when you try to re-install the client as the GUI cannot find the server's headers and so will not install client software. So you go and find the rpm and try to install it yourself and get the dependencies problem. I think you get an idea of my frustration, and I have not even got to the part of trying to use mysql yet! Still, I will continue on...:-)
Thanks for your input.
