mysql not installing even though dependencies have been resolved
 

Hi,

I am trying to install myslq-5.0.45 on my rhel5 box.

Initially it said, mysql needs perl dbd and dbi modules. I downloaded the latest ones and installed them.

However when i do : rpm -qa|grep perl, i dont see the modules installed...and neither does mysql install.

Any help ?? How do i solve this.

thanks in advance.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Did you install these modules using rpm packages? If not, then rpm will not be able to see them and you will keep getting the missing dependencies error.

Did not install using rpm
 

Thanks for welcoming me reddazz.
Regarding my query, I downloaded the tar.gz packages of perl dbi and perl dbd. Let me try installing using rpm of these packages ..i will get back to you really soon on this.

Thanks a ton for the help.
