I at first downloaded the compatibility RPM from the MySQL website
(thanks for the link, Paul).  Everything installed properly, and the
mysqld started without error.

However, after reading your post, I uninstalled the RPM from MySQL (with
the --nodeps option), and did what you suggested.  I agree with your
reasoning: since I'm using the development source RPMs anyway, I might
as well use all of the ones I need from development.

So far mysql is running happily.  I haven't done any heavy loading of it
yet, but SugarCRM, Request Tracker, and Mambo Server will soon be making
use of it.  Hopefully nothing blows up in my face. :)

Thanks to all who responded.  I appreciate your help.

Regards,

Ranbir
