MySQL RPM's not installing

OK I am trying to setup MySQL through rpms and when i try to install to install the first package i get this error:

Code:

warning: //root/MySQL-server-4.0.21-0.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 5072e1f5 error: Failed dependencies: fileutils is needed by MySQL-server-4.0.21-0 sh-utils is needed by MySQL-server-4.0.21-0 /bin/sh is needed by MySQL-server-4.0.21-0 /usr/bin/perl is needed by MySQL-server-4.0.21-0

I thought that some of the stuff it was requestiong was odd because I should already have at least fileutils. I am running Slack 10. Any ideas?

maybe you have the wrong version from what it needs ?
shouldn't your package manager select the dependencies for you anyway ?

well i went back in to kpackage to give it another try and i realized that i forgot to uncheck the upgrade and replace packages option but i still left check dependencies option checked. this is what resulted:

Code:

/bin/sh is needed by MySQL-shared-4.0.21-0 ld-linux.so.2 is needed by MySQL-shared-4.0.21-0 libc.so.6 is needed by MySQL-shared-4.0.21-0 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by MySQL-shared-4.0.21-0 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1) is needed by MySQL-shared-4.0.21-0 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.2) is needed by MySQL-shared-4.0.21-0 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1.3) is needed by MySQL-shared-4.0.21-0 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2) is needed by MySQL-shared-4.0.21-0 libcrypt.so.1 is needed by MySQL-shared-4.0.21-0 libm.so.6 is needed by MySQL-shared-4.0.21-0 libnsl.so.1 is needed by MySQL-shared-4.0.21-0 libnss_dns.so.2 is needed by MySQL-shared-4.0.21-0 libnss_files.so.2 is needed by MySQL-shared-4.0.21-0 libpthread.so.0 is needed by MySQL-shared-4.0.21-0 libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.0) is needed by MySQL-shared-4.0.21-0 libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.2) is needed by MySQL-shared-4.0.21-0 libresolv.so.2 is needed by MySQL-shared-4.0.21-0 libz.so.1 is needed by MySQL-shared-4.0.21-0

i guess i need to download something called glib, could someone point me in the right direction. i tried google but that just confused me even more.

i think its

rpm --nodep mysql.rpm

something like that just will not check any deps for it... sometimes just have to foce install stuff and you know what deps it has

Slackware is not an RPM based distribution. This means that you should probably download, compile, and install the source. Either that, or see if they have tgz's of the package (which I don't think they do). If you use the --nodeps option that jubjub mentioned, you should be able to install the package, however it may not have all the dependencies installed yet.

Best,
