MySQL RPMs on RedHat Enterprise 3.0 ES?

[matt.simpson]

Are there any problems that anyone is aware of that would prevent the RPM's provided by MySQL (details below) for RedHat Enterprise 3.0 to be installed and run correctly?

RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 (x86) - Server 4.1.14-0
RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 (x86) - Client 4.1.14-0
RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 (x86) - Headers and libraries 4.1.14-0
RedHat Enterprise Linux 3 (x86) - Shared libraries 4.1.14-0


I remember this used to be a huge no-no, but then again, MySQL never released RPM's specifically for RHEL3.

If there's no problems, can I just download the new RPM's from MySQL and "rpm -Uvh *" or do I have to remove RedHat's RPM's first and then install the MySQL ones?

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

Best Regards,

You can install these RPMS over the top of the other ones. Usually, especially with RPM it's a bad idea un uninstall and then reinstall another version.
