<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've got a problem while trying to install package
perl-DBD-MySQL.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've installed MySQL 4.1 from mysql.com's rpms, and
they do not provide rpm for perl-DBD-MySQL</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So I decided to try to install the package

<DIV>As you can see, it can not understand that mysql is already installed (but
not under the package name "mysql", but "MySQL-client")</DIV>
<DIV>It tries to install mysql, but as we can expect the packages
conflict.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So, what is the solution ? How can I find a perl-DBD-MySQL rpm package
compatible with my version of MySQL (4.1) ?</DIV>
<DIV>I also tried to install the module from CPAN, without success : perl -MCPAN
-e 'install DBD::mysql', without success (still have errors), and I really want
to install it from RPM since I need it as a dependency for another
package...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any help greatly appreciated !</DIV>
