You have a previous version of MySQL installed, from the mysql.com RPM's. To get rid of it, do: rpm -e 'MySQL*' first, then: rpm -ivh perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021-3.i386.rpm mysql-server-3.23.58-1.i386.rpm mysql-3.23.58-1.i386.rpm > I tried 'locate' but could not find either file, so then tried 'rpm -e' of > both When you use rpm -e, you give it a package name (e.g. mysql-3.23.58-1.i386 or mysql) not a file name. -- Alex -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
