Stuck with older version of MySQL on RH9, want to install latest, but cant

[Ankur G35 Saxena]

Hi, I am trying to install the latest version of MySQL(i am not sure
4.0.23? currently in the office). The RH9 comes with some 3.2.xx
version, I try to run rpm -U to upgrade but that doesnt work, I try to
install it doesnt work and I try to remove mysql that doesnt work
either. I went to Add and Remove programs removed anything to do with
SQL server and still it shows on command line that mysql 3.2.xx is
installed.

When I try and remove using rpm command line it gives me PHP DBD
dependency error.

I basically want to remove and upgrade my MySQL, but have not found a
simple way of doing it.

Any help would be great

Thanks
Ankur

Thanks for helping brian, While I was going through some sites where
people had posted some trouble, I found this guy who had successfully
installed the server, client and dev package.

All I had to do was rpm -Uvh --nodeps pkg_name
I am not sure of the --nodeps, but i think it was there, but in any
event, did the server first, then the libraries and then client
finally stoped the mysql from running, installed the dev pkg and
started mysql back up, didnt take much time.

Thanks for the help

 Well,  When you uninstall something, you have to get rid of the
 dependencies as well.  In OpenBSD, I have to uninstall the PHP DB
 Module when I uninstall MySQL server.  You may be able to force it to
 uninstall, then uninstall the PHP module, or you can do the PHP module
 first, then uninstall MySQL. Then, it's just a matter of installing
 everything in reverse.  The module, then the server...
 
 Hope I was helpful.
