Offhand, I suspect that what you ought to do is install the "mysqlclient10"
package on the system with mysql 4. From the RPM description:

  This package contains backlevel versions of the MySQL client libraries
  as shipped with Red Hat Linux 9 for use with applications linked against
  them.  These shared libraries were created using MySQL 3.23.58.

This should satisfy the dependencies which are causing the problem.
