ok... So, i want to install mysql4.

downloaded rpms, imported keys all fine...

[root@li-229 rpms]# rpm -ivh MySQL-server-4.0.14-0.i386.rpm MySQL-client-4.0.14-0.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
fileutils is needed by MySQL-server-4.0.14-0
sh-utils is needed by MySQL-server-4.0.14-0
/bin/sh is needed by MySQL-server-4.0.14-0
/usr/bin/perl is needed by MySQL-server-4.0.14-0
/bin/sh is needed by MySQL-client-4.0.14-0
/usr/bin/perl is needed by MySQL-client-4.0.14-0

So, i go and grab coreutils-4.5.3-19.src.rpm and install that... but still get the same problem.... I dont really know too much about this so treat me as an idiot

anyway... I cant understand it... if i do a which on sh and perl i get the following....

[root@li-229 rpms]# which sh
/bin/sh
[root@li-229 rpms]# which perl
/usr/bin/perl

Any idea's???

Cheers

It looks like your RPM database is hosed. Try running "rpm --rebuilddb".
