Hi All,

Paul, if I do a yum install mysql-dev, I get the following,

Dependencies Resolved
Transaction Listing:
  Install: mysql-devel.i386 0:3.23.58-14

Performing the following to resolve dependencies:
  Install: mysql.i386 0:3.23.58-14
  Install: perl-DBD-MySQL.i386 0:2.9003-5
Is this ok [y/N]:
but, I don't wish to install mysql via yum, as it's already installed 
via source. How do I get around this.? Cheers.

Mark Sargent.
