drauk, the rpm provided by mysql.com won't install in Fed Core 3 cause the dependencies aren't met. The MySQL 4.1 rpm requires an older version of libstdc++ something or other. I spent some time trying to get around this but gave up
When I loaded the libstdc++ from Fed Core 2 then MySQL loaded but various other apps stopped working.
I pretty much sorted the system last night by using Anancoda (the Red Hat installer) to uninstall all the MySQL stuff it had loaded, and then used the binaries provided my MySQL. So easy I'm wondering why I was even bothering with the rpm in the first place! Sorted.
Evo, there isn't an SLA or contract in sight of this machine. I build the thing by buying an empty case and throwing in old spare parts I had lying around. So if anything goes wrong there is only one person responsible and that's me. All rather liberating.
