I was able to install the client but the server does not install. Complains about libmysqlclient.so.10. This file exists and I tried co-locating with the install RPM but still doesn't work.
Any suggestions?
OK - I worked it out - if maybe in a contorted method. The box had MySQL client 3.x installed. I installed the 4.0 client with the --force option. The 4.0 server would not install prior to or after installing the 4.0 client. No server had been installed during initial setup. I forced an install of the 3.x server then forced the install of 4.0 server and then forced the 4.0 client to install again. Now both the client and server work - go figure.
