[SOLVED] MySQL 5.1 install from RPMs not working!

[TomF]

I'm working through a learning project that wants me to install MySQL5.1 on a CentoOS 5 VM using only RPMs.

I locate the RPMs and download, then install. Dependencies are missing, so I go grab those.
The problem that I am having is that the MySQL5.1 rpm requires "libmysqlclient16", and some of the other dependencies also require this, but perl-DBD-MySQL requires "libmysqlclient15". I have tried to find different versions of these rpms to get all of them to use the same version but have not been able to yet.

I am taking way to long to figure this out and I'm wondering if there is some trick to this.

Thanks for any input.

You probably need the MySQL-Shared-Compat RPM that matches your other packages

You're right! Thanks. I tried to get that earlier and the place I was grabbing rpms did not have it, so I kept trying to work around other ways. But once you mentioned it I went and did a wider search for it and it solved the issue.

Thanks,
