Upgrading from 3.23 to 4.0 Problem

[Ross O]

Im trying to upgrade 3.23 on my redhat 9 machine.  I
have one lone perl-dbd-mysql libmysqlclient dependency
that is throwing me off.  when i try to upgrade it
wont go.  so i try to uninstall that perl rpm and it
says its mysql 3.23 needs it and when i try to
uninstall mysql 3.23 it says the perl dbd needs it. 
how do i get around this catch?

Installation Confusion in Linux

[Ross O]

I was able to successfully install MySQL server 4
under windows, but am a little confused about doing it
through linux.  

My main confusion is where the install goes? Im using
the rpm, and from my personal directory where i
downloaded the rpm to, i issue a rpm -i
MySQL-server-...rpm command and it goes through its
deal. The very first thing I notice is it says is to
execute /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root... to set the
passwords. Well there are about a dozen mysql scripts
in that directory but no mysqladmin, so immediately Im
thinking i have a problem or did something wrong. Next
it says the default directory for the install is
/usr/local/mysql unless i specified otherwise. I did
not and that directory does not exist. 

so what happened? i downloaded the rpm off the mysql
site and all i did was run it. didnt touch anything
else. it installs the mysql service fine, and it puts
all its db files in the /var/lib directory like it
says it will, but it sure seems like im missing some
other critical files?

heres a list of the files by running rpm -qlp
package and dont find mysqladmin or some other
important files.  did something go wrong during the
install?  ive tried uninstalling/reinstalling many
times.  using the find command on mysqladmin yields no
results.

 Ross,
 rpm -qlp package_name.rpm will list all the files in
 an rpm for you. You
 may
 need to install the client rpm as well.
