Hi all,
I was googling my way in finding an howto "howto install mysql 4.0 on fedora core 2", I just found an Italian website describing this installation, unfortunalty my Italian is not that good. I followed this mailinglist and I can totaly imagine why redhat bundles with 3.58, no problem....
But I guess I'am not the onlye one who wants a clean valid installation of Mysql 4 by rebuilding the source rpm's and a valid integration into Fedora, with valid dependencies. Or is this not possible and should I install the software from source (just as php, apache and so on?)
Thanks in advance.. Fons van der Beek
Here's someone who had no problems with the RPMs from mysql.com: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-February/msg01237.html
... Haven't tried this myself since I found install from source easier when it came to installing with just the options I wanted. You might want to look at "Installing Apache, MySQL, and PHP on Linux" at http://www.madpenguin.org/cms/?m=show&id=751.
