I wanted to install mysql 4.0 or 4.1 on my new fc3 x86_64 box like I
have on my i386 boxes, but the only mysql that seems to work is 3.25. Is
this all there is? Is this the arch. or fedora or both? Has anyone
else been successful with 4.0 or 4.1?
FC3 shipped with MySQL 3.23. But you should be able to either use the
binaries at mysql.com (the RHEL4 RPMS would probably work best):
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.1.html
or grab the MySQL 4.1 SRPM from FC4 and recompile it on your system:
as non-root user run:
cd $HOME
wget
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4/SRPMS/mysql-4.1.12-2.FC4.1.src.rpm
mkdir $HOME/rpm
mkdir $HOME/rpm/SOURCES
mkdir $HOME/rpm/SPECS
mkdir $HOME/rpm/BUILD
mkdir $HOME/rpm/SRPMS
mkdir $HOME/rpm/RPMS
mkdir $HOME/rpm/RPMS/x86_64
mkdir $HOME/rpm/RPMS/i386
echo "%_topdir $HOME/rpm" >> $HOME/.rpmmacros
rpm -Uvh mysql-4.1.12-2.FC4.1.src.rpm
cd $HOME/rpm/SPECS
rpmbuild -bb mysql.spec
This should leave you with MySQL 4.1 RPMS custom compiled for your box
in $HOME/rpm/RPMS/$arch/
