Is there a problem installing latest Mariadb 10 on slackware 14.1?

I'm asking this because on slackware 14.1 ftp site you only have up to MariaDB 5, and this server version does not support online transactions. Yesterday I went to make a transaction that was copying some radius bank tables and then erasing old records, and stopped all company wifi because of the locks.

detail: our freeradius is version 2

I use mariadb-10.4.11 on slackware64-14.2 successfully. Of course I compiled it with the SB, I don't install mariadb package from current on 14.2.

I'm sorry, I made the hurried post and put Slackware 14.2 in the title of the question when I mean Slackware 14.1.

I haven't used 14.1 in quite some time, but your best bet is to just download the mariadb source folder from a 14.2 or -current mirror and run the SlackBuild and see if it builds.

You definitely don't want to install a package from a newer version of Slackware, because it is most likely compiled against newer versions of libraries found in those newer Slackware versions and won't run.
