Ok! I'm a newbie, I screwed up. http://discussions.linuxplanet.com/confused.gif
I had an old mysql RPM on my machine, but forgot it was an RPM package. So what I did was search all my HD for anything relating to mysql and deleted all those files--a bunch.
I did rpm -ivv mysql/MySQL-3.22.32-1.i386.rpm and got a bunch of errors.
I went to the rpm man page and the rpm website and gathered all the information I need to fix the problem--I think.
However, I have a couple questions which I am unclear about:
Which command would be the most reliable solution?
rpm -ivvh MySQL-3.22.32-1.i386.rpm --replacepkgs --replacefiles
rpm -Uvvh MySQL-3.22.32-1.i386.rpm --force --nodeps
Likewise for the Client package, and the Bench files.
When I run these in "--test" mode and log the results from the "vv" option they appear to do almost the same thing with some differences. These differences are documented in a text file for anyone who wants a copy.
To someone who knows what they are doing you may know what those differences are without the text file.
Thanks
