    Question Choosing an RPM Package

    Hey all,

    I was wondering, if I were to install an RPM package, say MySQL, in Fedora 12 x86_64, which one should I download? MySQL provides builds for RHEL5, etc. So is there a 1-to-1 correspondence between RHEL and Fedora?

    Hi and welcome to the forum.

    Your best bet would be to install the mysql packages shipped by the Fedora developers e.g.
    Code:
    yum -y install mysql mysql-server
    Some Fedora Core 6 packages will work on RHEL, but its not guaranteed.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    As daark.child said, get the ones for your distribution using the system's package manager yum. If you want to use ODBC to connect to the database, also install the mysql-connector-odbc package.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
