Hi,

I just installed Fedora Core 1 linux system.  When I try mysql, I got the 
following error:

# /etc/init.d/mysqld start
Initializing MySQL database:                               [  OK  ]
Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL Daemon.
Starting MySQL:                                            [FAILED]

I uninstalled mysql-server, then delete folders under /var/lib/mysql/,
reinstall mysql-server from CD3.  I still got the same error.

When I try to uninstall mysql client, I got:

# rpm -e mysql-3.23.58-4
error: Failed dependencies:
        libmysqlclient.so.10 is needed by (installed) perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9002-1
# rpm -e perl-DBD-MySQL-2.9002-1
error: Failed dependencies:
        perl-DBD-MySQL is needed by (installed) mysql-3.23.58-4

Can somebody give me some help?  Where is the problem? How to solve the
problem?

Thanks!
