So, what you need to do is to download the "Dynamic client libraries (including 3.23.x libraries)" package as well, which contains the libraries you need to maintain backwards compatibility with these older packages. Then, install both of your downloads together: # rpm -Uvh MySQL-server-4.1.9-0.i386.rpm MySQL-shared- compat-4.1.9-0.i386.rpm That should do it. Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
