>Description: Installed: * MySQL-3.23.27-1.i386.rpm MySQL-shared-3.23.27-1.i386.rpm * MySQL-client-3.23.27-1.i386.rpm MySQL-devel-3.23.27-1.i386.rpm #1) Had to use "--nodeps" so the server and client portions would pass the "/usr/bin/perl5" dependency check. I tried doing # cd /usr/bin; ln perl perl5 It would be nice if the dependency could be met by looking for any /usr/bin/perl5*. (E.g. my system has '/usr/bin/perl5.00503'). #2) The installation script said to change the database password via: # /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -p password 'new-password' # /usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h pipek.truedisk.com -p password 'new-password' It doesn't work! >How-To-Repeat: 1. Brand-new RedHat 6.2 installation ("server install"). 2. Apply all patches/updates released prior to Jan-17-2001. 3.
