how to install mysql

[zyrag]

using the command
# rpm -i MySQL-Max-3.23.54a-1.i386.rpm

prompted me an error message saying that it encountered a dependency problem and that it needs the version 3.23.54.

when i tried to install MySQL-Max-4.0.5-0.i386.rpm, i also got the same problem.

do i really need to install the 3.23.54 version? or is it possible to force the installation?

i am running redhat 7.3

hope you could help me with this...

thanks,

Hi there !

I wanna install MySQL 4.0.13 on my RH 8.0 system.

I downloaded the RPM Linux files from

http://www.mysql.com.

When I attempt to install the server rpm, I get a segmentation fault :

$ rpm -i MySQL-server-4.0.13-0.i386.rpm
warning: MySQL-server-4.0.13-0.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5072e1f5
Segmentation Error


Any idea on this one ?????

Thanks in advance for your help.

Fred

For new issues, start a new thread, don't tack it on to an old one.

First, redownload the rpm, it might have gotten munged in transfer. If it happens again, see if you can do an rpm -qilf on the rpm file.

i found it better to install mysql using the binary installation or using ./configure command. You will have a lot of options and customization.
