I had the same problem. There are four possible
solutions:
a) The obvious but annoying one: upgrade to RH72...
b) The less likely one. Upgrade RH62 to GLIBC22,
but this is *STRONGLY DISCOURAGED* by Redhat...
c) Trust Sinisa Milivojevic (who is one of MySQL
developers). He told me to ignore warnings and
force installation of MySQL binaries, since
they're statically linked with GLIBC22
d) The difficult way: rebuild binaries. This was
my choice (thank to James C. McDonald).
In order to rebuild binaries you've to upgrade the
gcc compiler, too. Follow these steps:
1. downloaded the gcc-2.95.4-4h.src.rpm from
http://rpmfind.net/ (it's from a PPC distro
but its RedHat based)
2. built rpms for gcc-2.95-4 on your RH62 box
executing:
# rpm --rebuild gcc-2.95.4-4h.src.rpm(*)
You will find rebuilded packages in
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/
3. Remove old egcs and install the gcc-2.95-4
rpms you've built. You will need to install
gperf-2.7-6.i386.rpm if it is not already
installed (it's on your RedHat CD-ROM).
# rpm -e egcs-c++-1.1.2-30
# rpm -e egcs-objc-1.1.2-30
# rpm -e egcs-1.1.2-30
# rpm -e cpp-1.1.2-30
# rpm -ivh cpp-2.95.4-4h.i386.rpm
# rpm -ivh gcc-2.95.4-4h.i386.rpm
# rpm -ivh libstdc++-2.10.0-4h.i386.rpm
# rpm -ivh gcc-c++-2.95.4-4h.i386.rpm
# rpm -ivh gperf-2.7-6.i386.rpm
4. Rebuild MySQL:
# rpm --rebuild MySQL-3.23.49-1.src.rpm
5. Finally install MySQL binaries

(*) Actually I'm not sure if you can build directly
this version. Infact I formerly built gcc 2.95.2-1i.
With this one I built gcc 2.96 (and had to rebuild
binutils-2.11 and upgrade to, too), but then it was
pointed out that this version of gcc does not work
well with mysql. So I finally built gcc-2.95-4 and
down-graded to this one.
