Hello,
I am running Red Hat Linux 6.2 which is supposedly the platform on
which the latest MySQL RPMs were built. However there are problems
when I try to install the package even though I follow the instructions
in the manual:
[root@tulip /tmp]# rpm -i MySQL-3.23.30-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
/usr/bin/perl5 is needed by MySQL-3.23.30-1
[root@tulip /tmp]# rpm -q perl
perl-5.00503-10
[root@tulip /tmp]# ls /usr/bin/perl
/usr/bin/perl
[root@tulip /tmp]# ls /usr/bin/perl5
ls: /usr/bin/perl5: No such file or directory
[root@tulip /tmp]#
As you can see perl 5 is installed and Red Hat's installation script did
not create a symbolic links to /usr/bin/perl5 to /usr/bin/perl so why
should the MySQL RPMs complain about it? Even if I create the link
manually the Red Hat RPM database is not updated when I do so.
This makes the MySQL RPMs defective if not unusable.
Thanks,
Neil
