mysql/linux question

I realize this issue is more of a mysql issue but I wanted to ask here as well in case someone had run into this before.

In a nutshell, I'm trying to upgrade my old mysql 4.0.16 to the newest 4.1 version. When I go to extract the .rpm file, no matter where I extract it at I am getting this:

After a quick look, many of these directories and files do exist, but it seems like it doesnt know where to look for them? Any help on this one would be much appreciated, been searching the web for hours trying to come up with a solution.

Thanks!

You should not install RPM's direct into Slackware. These packages (even when converted using rpm2tgz) will probably not work. If you want a newer version then the ones Slackware is providing it is better to compile your own. Don't know if that means you have to recompile apache and or php as well, but that could be possible. To ease up things, you could use the buildscripts of Slackware and change them as you want it. You can find those in the source dir of the packages on slackware ftp / mirror or source cd.

Or download a package on linuxpackages.net if available. The http://www.linuxpackages.net/pkg_details.php?id=6299 seems to be an up to date version for Slackware 10.1

Great thanks for fast reply, this is infact exactly what I need. I was able to uncompress it fine. My next question tho is how do I get the new version to start at boot instead of the old. Or better yet, how do I completely remove the old one and get the new one to start at boot? Everytime i check the version it says its still running 4.0.

Am using College Linux btw.

I know collegeLinux is Slackware based but that is about all I know about it. Slackware uses the pkgtools to handle softwarepackages . In your case upgradepkg would remove the old package and install the new one, but I'm not sure what version of Slackware your collegelinux version is based on and what packagemanager it uses. Also I don't know what modifications collegelinux made to their distro compared to Slackware.

Getting closer, this look at all familiar?

Well now getting a new error, I think I've hosed it completely. Will have to start again tomorrow.

These are my requirements:

Quote:

# A dedicated (server) machine.
# Linux or Windows, or any system capable of running all of below.
# A servlet container, Tomcat (http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat) 4.1.30+ recommended.
# (A http server, Apache 2.0+ recommended. NOT REQUIRED however, Tomcat can do the job for you)
# Database server. MySQL 4.1.3 Beta+ recommended. YOU NEED a server that supports SQL sub-queries (unless you want to modify the source)
# Java SDK (J2SE/J2EE) 1.4.2_0x+. There's no getting around this one. Might work with 1.5.0 beta, but not tested.
# ANT for compiling the source (http://ant.apache.org)
# A text editor (any will do that doesn't messs up newlines or add strange characters (like vim, Emacs, etc) (DON'T USE PICO))

Is there a linux package out there that comes with some of the newer software that you would recommend? I was doing great until I needed to update the mysql and that threw everything out the window. Where if I could get the new stuff all together I think I'd be fine.
