Topic: Install mysql-devel

[charlies]

I am trying to load the mysql-devel package onto an SME 7.0 RC2 system. I need the mysql-devel package in order to build DSPAM for my server. When I issue the command 'yum --enablerepo=base install mysql-devel', one package is identified for installation, and five packages are identified as dependencies. Unfortunately, I receive a transaction check error as follows:

Transaction Check Error:   package openssl-0.9.7a-43.8sme1 (which is newer than openssl-0.9.7a-43. is already installed

Any idea how I might get around this issue?

Try

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=smeaddons install mysql-devel

Nope. It doesn't look like mysql-devel is part of smeaddons. Here is the exact response:

No Match for argument: mysql-devel

Any other ideas?

What about this:

yum install --enablerepo=base --enablerepo=updates --enablerepo=addons mysql-devel

Hmmm - very odd - I just installed it on our test server. So I have no idea why it isn't working for you.  The only thing I can suggest is that you go and physically get the rpm and install it.  Its here

Arne,
Your suggestion worked.

yum install --enablerepo=base --enablerepo=updates --enablerepo=addons mysql-devel

downloaded and installed mysql-devel. Unfortunately, yum -update is now broken as it wants to upgrade openssl to openssl-0.9.7a-43.8sme1 which is newer than openssl-0.9.7a-43.8, but fails dependency checks. What is so special about sme's openssl?

Isn't the openssl story, the oposit, it has openssl-0.9.7a-43.8sme1 that is not "fully compatible" with the centos rpms.

I had the same problem when I wanted to intall openssl-devel.

The way I came arount it was to forse a package installation that did not check dependency (maybe not allways to smart .. possibly a bit risky)

rpm -Uvh --nodeps "packagename"

.. I think it was something like this ..

Hi there

I will be monitoring this thread closely.

I am also willing to test the package should you require any testers.

It is a great spam filter, and I'm very happy with it.

Hi Charlie

Did you get DSpam running?

I got the first bit compiled but can't seem to get the MYSQL integrated properly

Did anyone keep any notes?

Thanks
