Compiling MySQL 4.1.1 For New OpenSSL Version

[Robert L Cochran]

I downloaded the Linux RPM binaries for MySQL 4.1.1 and all except 
MySQL-shared-4.1.1-0.i386.rpm and MySQL-shared-compat-4.1.1-0.i386.rpm 
installed correctly. The -shared RPM failed on missing dependencies, it 
was looking for openssl 0.9.6 and libcrypto 0.9.6 shared libraries and 
couldn't find them. This is because I had just upgraded that machine 
system to OpenSSL 0.9.7. (The "*-shared-compat*" RPM failed to install 
for the same reason.)

So I downloaded and installed the source code RPM for MySQL 4.1.1. I 
changed the release number (as my only change to the SPEC file) in the 
version string and am now running rpmbuild to force a recompile of the 
package. Since this is on a quite old 550 Mhz machine, the compile is 
taking a very long time, but it seems to be chugging along normally.

When it finishes, I hope to have a MySQL flavor compiled against openssl 
0.9.7 and a shiny new MySQL-shared binary RPM that will install correctly.

My question is, can I just install the shared RPM and leave the other 
precompiled binaries I installed (downloaded from MySQL AB) alone? Or 
should I install all my locally compiled RPM binaries?

Thanks a lot
