Differences in MySQL on their download site.

[ITGL72]

I see two downloads on the

http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.0.html

page I wish someone to explain to me the difference.





At the bottom of the page there is a section stating:

"For maximum stability and performance, we recommend that you use the binaries we provide" and for Linux (fedora) there file is:

MySQL-4.0.18-0.src.rpm





But at the top of the page under "Linux x86 RPM downloads" the file to download is:

MySQL-Max-4.0.18-0.i386.rpm





I am reading a book on MySQL and I'm just at the download and install section now and this is a bit confusing to me right now so before I go any further I would like to clear it up. In the book it told me I should get the MAX version so that's why I opted for this download.





On my test Linux Fedora box I tried to install both of them just to see what would happen.





COMMAND:

rpm -ivh MySQL-4.0.18-0.src.rpm





I get:





warning: MySQL-4.0.18-0.src.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5072e1f5

error: cannot create %sourcedir /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES









When trying the other file:





COMMAND:

rpm -ivh MySQL-4.0.18-0.src.rpm





I get:





warning: MySQL-Max-4.0.18-0.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5072e1f5

error: Failed dependencies:

MySQL >= 4.0 is needed by MySQL-Max-4.0.18-0



I assume on that last one that I need to download the package for MySQL-Max-4.0.18-0 first. But what does the rest of it all mean and what are the differences in files?





Thanks for the help!

PS: using yum only gets me version 3.

Correction, that second command line should read:

rpm -ivh MySQL-Max-4.0.18-0.i386.rpm

I screwed up the copy/paste.
