If I have the glibc 2.3, I have to use Linux x86 generic RPM
(dynamically linked).  Otherwise, version lower than 2.3, we should

I right?


Yes.

Hi,
  I found that there are 2 versions of mysql 5.0 rpm for download.

Linux x86 generic RPM (statically linked against glibc 2.2.5) downloads
Linux x86 generic RPM (dynamically linked) downloads

  What is the difference between them?  How to determine what version
should I use for fedora4?



Glibc 2.2 has issues when the number of threads gets large, that is why 
ehere is a patched version (that issue fixed) is linked statically to 
MySQL binaries intended to run on systems (still) using glibc 2.2.


Glibc 2.3 does not have these issues, so for this version dynamic 
linking can be used.
This is the current version of glibc, used for all MySQL binaries 
(except those special 2.2 ones).


Check your system for the glibc version used, then get and install the 
appropriate package.



HTH,
Jperg
