If you want to keep apps that shipped with the distro but are linked against the 3.23 libmysqlclient, you may want to install MySQL-shared-compat to satisfy the RPM library dependencies. That should work, but after you install the new RPM files, use chkconfig --list mysql to make sure that the server is set to start on runlevels 2 through 5. If it's not, use: chkconfig --levels 2345 mysql on Otherwise, the server won't start automatically at system boot time. This problem has been seen on RH 8 and RH 9. I understand it's been fixed now, but I'm not sure if the fix is in the current release or the next one.
