Hi everybody I did a quick search on the mailing list archive for "libmysql install" but no mathces so hopefully this hasn't been asked yet (for awhile at least). I want to install mysql (mostly for client purposes) and am running into a "chicken and egg" problem. [root@netmanage01 src]# rpm -i mysql-3.23.58-1.80.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: perl-DBD-MySQL is needed by mysql-3.23.58-1.80 so I try to install perl-DBD-MySQL [root@netmanage01 src]# rpm -i perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1017-3.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1017-3 Unfortunatley, guess where libmysqlclient.so.10 is ? [root@netmanage01 src]# rpm -q -p mysql-3.23.58-1.80.i386.rpm --list | grep libmysqlclient.so.10 /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.10 /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.10.0.0 [root@netmanage01 src]# Any help here? Chicken and Egg? So i didn't find in the man page how to install just one file. Can I do that? Or should I just use --force and see what happens? I'm a bit confused how to go forth. Any help would be appreciated. THanks! Ben -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
