Hi Fabiano,

Many, many thanks for the help, this *seems* to be it... when I do an ldconfig as you suggest, mysql does not show up at all - so i need the mysql-client and mysql-devel packages.

However, a few questions before I upgrade and knacker my existing installation!

I have MySQL-3.23.33 (installed from a tarball) at present.

Can I mix the tarball and the RPM's?

Can I mix versions? ie use these packages from the current 3.23.47 RPM alongside my existing tarball installation?

Just need to ask these (probably simple) questions first!

Regards,

Greg.

Hi Greg,

try to do this

# ldconfig -p | grep -i mysql

if mysql does not show, you have to install the mysql-client and mysql-devel rpm packages.

# rpm -ivh mysql-client*.rpm # rpm -ivh mysql-devel*.rpm (or something like that...) # ldconfig (to reload the shared library list)

If you have the packages, but you do not see the librarys, edit the /etc/ld.so.conf file and insert the correct path of the librarys (the standard location is /usr/lib, /lib or /usr/local/lib). After, you have to run ldconfig to reload the shared library list.
