need help getting right rpms for

[pepper]

I have mysql version 3.23.58 installed on my system I am trying to upgrade to 4.1.4-0. I have tried to generate the rpms specific to my OS (Fedora Core 1 AMD Athlon Processor) When I created the rpms the rpms that were produced came in the form of MySQL-server-4.1.4-0.glbc23.athlon.rpm. I am not sure from the list of linux rpms from the mysql website which I should use. The list is:

Linux x86 rpms
Linux IA64 rpm (glbc-2.3, dynamic,gcc)
Linux AMD64 / Intel EM64T RPM (glbc-2.3, dynamic,gcc)

I am not sure which one to use for a athlon processor

Any help would be appreciated

I just finished upgrading mysql forom version 3 to 4.1. I now have a problem. I can not start the server.

When I type mysql at the command promt I get a bad command error
All I did was install all the rpms and then tried to start the server. I did not configure anything before I installed the rpms? Was I soppose to do some kind of pre install setup and is there any way I can fix this without having to reformat the system?

Thanks

You seem to have been using linux for awhile, so I apologize if any of my suggestions are silly....

I think if you look at the man page for rpms under querying, you can ge a list of all the rpms you installed, with the most recent being last (--last) or query for specific packages. You could use these to figure out which rpms you updated, then erase the newer versions, and reinstall the older ones.

I don't know for sure, but I thought since you are using fedora, that yum or apt-get would be an easier way of updating packages. It handles configuration problems for you.
