I've MySQL-3.23.54a-11 installed and running on RH 9.0 via the RedHat rpm's. I'm trying to upgrade to MySQL-4.0.17-0 via rpm's from MySQL.com. I found references from web searches and through the archives from this list that suggest that it's as easy as:
shell> rpm -Uvh --nodeps MySQL* but this results in numerous error messages saying that various files from 4.0.17 conflict with files from 3.23.54a-11. So then I tried uninstalling 3.23.54 first, then running: shell> rpm -i MySQL* but this also did not work. Although when I ran: shell> rpm -qa | grep MySQL* at this point, I got the correct list of rpm's that I was trying to install. However, no mysqld was found. I'd much appreciate some guidance. dave
