Hi,
Following up on my prevoius questions about using MySQL 4..
Somone pointed me to this page.. http://fedoranews.org/contributors/tony_smith/mysql/
Its a nice easy to follow guide but I am still unsure why the RPM's provided by MySQL can't be used on FC1..
I mailed the author but did not get a response..
Would someone far cleverer than me plase explain why the MySQL RPM's can't be used and why I have to build them myself on FC1??
I have no problems with the original mysql rpms on 5 FC1 Machines, one of this production enviroment (yes, it's stable!).
To install mysql 4 on your FC1 Box, go to http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-4.0.html
1.) Download RPMS from mysql.com:
Server, Client programs, Libraries and header files (if you need devel rpms!), Dynamic client libraries (including 3.23.x libraries)
2.) Remove existing mysql rpms via 'rpm -e --nodeps {name}', if installed. Check this with 'rpm -qa|grep -i mysql'.
3.) Install the downloaded mysql rpms...
Excellent!!
Thanks, I was hoping that would be the case.. :)
Later..
