I am wondering if anyone can help. I am currently trying to install MySQL 4.0 on my Slackware 9.0 machine
I downloaded the necessary RPM files, both the Client and the Server versions. Burned them onto a CD, and Mounted them successfully. They were then copied to /root for decompressing, etc. (I haven't got KDE working yet, so can't easily download on Linux!!!)
I typed the following command:
rpm -i MySQL-server-4.0.16-0.i386.rpm
just to try and get the server running before I worried about clients.
I got the following error
error: Failed dependencies:
fileutils is needed by MySQL-server-4.0.16-0
sh-utils is needed by MySQL-server-4.0.16-0
/bin/sh is needed by MySQL-server-4.0.16-0
/usr/bin/pearl is needed by MySQL-server-4.0.16-0
the most worrying of the above is /bin.sh. I thought that was installed as part of the OS!
On the web, www.mysql.com told me to try downloading the
MySQL-shared-compat-VERSION, which is did, and got an even longer chain of error messages (Shown below)
error: Failed Dependencies:
ld-linux.so.2 is needed by MySQL-shared-compat-4.0.16-0

root@Katana:~# _
I am beginning to think that either Linux hasn't installed properly (Although I followed the instructions given by a tutorial in a Networks and Communications module last summer) or I need to download and compile binaries (ARGH, SCARY!!!)
Can anyone shed any light on the situation?
I am a linux newbie (Well ish) and have never installed anything on linux before, other than Linux itself, so it could be I am doing something wrong. (I have used MySQL lots though, and have successfully installed in on many windows machines. Though that probably doesn't help!  )
Thanks in advance

I am having the exact same problem. Slack9.0 as well.
The problem is that when I installed Slack I told it to install
MySQL. I thought it did so. I looked around and found in the
directory /etc/rc.d/ a file called rc.mysqld.new wich I read.
It said to make this file executable so that it would start the
daemon at system boot. I made it executable. Needless to say it didn't work. So I read a little further. The same files says to build the grant tables by switching to the mysql user with the su command and running
mysql_install_db.
This gives me this error:
/usr/libexec/mysqld: /lib/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /usr/libexec/mysqld)
Installation of grant tables failed!
That is when I figured I'd just try to reinstall for the heck of it and of course now using the rpm --install command with the MySQL rpm I'm getting the same problem Mr. Thorne is getting.
I have posted to multiple news groups and forums. Will someone please help out the Noobs?

I managed to solve this one yesterday (Or day before)
(As Root)
To install MySQL 4, I downloaded the package from the slackware website, as well as GLIBC (package names: glibc-2.3.2-i486-2.tgz (From slackware current on http://www.slackware.com and mysql-4.0.15a-i486-1.tgz) to /tmp or other suitable directory. Then using pkgtool I installed both these packages. Then to initiallise MySQL I typed
su mysql
cd /var/script/mysql
mysql_install_db
mysql_safed
then I changed to tty2 (ctrl-alt-F2) and logged in as root (again)
mysqladmin ping.
To get MySQL running automatically, see your other post http://p2p.wrox.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6527
