Hey Folks,

First time using Mandrake here.  I come from a *BSD background.

I'm doing some work helping out a friend of mine who has installed Mandriva 2006. The MySQL client/server/libmysqldevel packages are installed, however a very important binary called "mysql_config" in inexplicably missing. In short, I am unable to compile any programs which will use MySQL because they complain about not being able to find "mysql_config". I've searched the entire filesystem and the file is simply not there. Any ideas? What package am I to install to get this file?

And other quick thing. I have some experience with Debian and it's apt-get system and of course the *BSD ports system. Does Mandriva 2006 have a similar tool for installing and upgrading packages without having to worry about dependencies? Thanks.

Matt
