[CLUE-Tech] installing mysql on Redhat 8.0

[Ed Young]

I'm trying to get MySQLAdmin and mysql-server installed on a redhat 8
system but am having installation problems. It seems that the install is
broken, and many mysql files are missing, or I haven't set mysql up
correctly. 

[root at gerakina MySQL]# rpm -qa | grep -i mysql
mysql-server-3.23.54a-4
mysql-3.23.54a-4
perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1017-3

So I have the server and client programs installed, however the only
mysql executable in /usr/bin is mysqladmin (?!). According to the rpm
file list I should have many other mysql related executables from the
mysql and mysql-server packages. When I try to run it I get 
[root at gerakina MySQL]# /usr/bin/mysqladmin
/usr/bin/mysqladmin: error while loading shared libraries:
libmysqlclient.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory. 

The above shared library doesn't exist on my system and there isn't even
a /usr/lib/mysql directory...

Is this a RH8.0 issue, an rpm issue, or a mysql settup issue? 

Thanx, 
Ed







I see that mysqladmin is a part of mysql-server
 
I've been running up2date on this system and am current with respect to
that "channel":  redhat-linux-i386-8.0...

Here's what is installed as far as mysql.
