In short, I would like to have mysql-devel installed. Unfortunately, when I tried to use yum install mysql-devel, it says No package mysql-devel available.

I searched in google and in the forum almost a whole day already and could not figure out how to find a solution yet.

Any idea how to get it solved?

Thanks,

Are you sure it isn't installed already? Try

yum list installed mysql*

or alternatively

yum list available mysql*

Thanks billymayday for your quick respond.

I still could not figure out how to have MySQL-devel yet. If I tried to install it via RPM, it required dependencies.

Quote:

[root@centos xxx]# rpm -i mysql-devel-5.0.45-7.el5.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:

It should be in base.

Can you post the content of

/etc/yum.repos.s/CentOS-Base.repo

and

/etc/yum.conf

/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo is: http://pastebin.com/m152030ff
and /etc/yum.conf is: http://pastebin.com/m66c55fdd

Code:

exclude=apache* httpd* mod_* mysql* MySQL* da_* *ftp* exim* sendmail* php* bind-chroot*

in yum.conf is your problem - you are telling yum to exclude mysql

Thank billymayday :)
It works now. I did not know that there is exclude in yum.conf

This post helped me a lot after struggling for hours. Editing yum.cof does work.
My initial install of mysql was not working right, and the rpm that I found online were not working due to dependency issues.
Again. THANKS A LOT billymayday!!
