The versioned shared lib sysmbol was introduced between mysql-5.0.18-2.1 and 5.0.22-1.FC5.1 (the latter is an update from June and there was anothe rupdate in November). E.g. you are running it on a never updated system. So all you have to do is to yum update the system. You should keep the system at the latest updates in any case for a mail server exposed to the net. $ rpm -q --whatprovides 'libmysqlclient.so.15(libmysqlclient_15)' mysql-5.0.27-1.fc5 > I got past that by installing with rpm -i --nodeps Never do that. If a package refuses to install it will have a reason, in this case the need for updating the underlying mysql libs. > 2.
