That's the part I still don't get. Where do I get the correct libssl.so.0.9.6 then? I went to openssl.org and didn't see anything that I could use without having to compile myself which I am not quite ready for. Since MySQL 3.23 worked fine on this box, it seems odd that the new version would need older libraries than the older MySQL. No?
Not in terms of RPM ... you can, however,
since you do have at least one version
that qualifies (wherever it came from, maybe
you installed a MDK rpm on your RH box
and they use different conventions for their
databases) you could always do a "--force"ed
install of MySQL and just ignore the warnings.
However, this is one of the reasons why I'm
using Slackware ;)
So, what is Slackware? I tried downloading Ximian Red Carpet, but it wanted an OLDER version of RPM that what comes with RH 9. So that wasn't a great idea. Hmm...
When I tried to do the force, it kept coming back with "Segmentation Fault". So, the force didn't seem to work.
Usually, seems like I see this when something has dependencies and the force just won't work. Saw the same problem with MySQL. Try without the --force and see what it is looking for.
