BIG TIME Egg on my face that you helped me expose! Your comments and questions led me to find out I've been trying to install the wrong RPM version! I was trying to install the IA64 version, not the Linux AMD64 / Intel EM64T version like my Xeon processors actually supports (I'm an idiot). I apologize greatly for the time you spent (but it did lead to the solution YET again!!) My donation has been made (They add together but just update the date of the donation), the advice and knowledge is more then worth it. I thank-you ALL yet again for your help!

Hiding in a hole of shame.

Original Post:

I thank-you all again in advance. This has to be the best site I have found. My name is Mark Kenney and if you check the donations page, you will see that I'm willing to give back to support this excellent site.

I know that this problem is not PERL based but it is my current first step to moving my PERL application over to a new Dell 2850 server to run my PERL application. PLEASE HELP!

I'm getting multiple messages of error when I try to install MySQL 4.0 RPMs on the system (I'll attach the messages at the end). It is a Dell 2850 64-bit server running RedHat ES 3.0. I know I'm missing out on something that will also extend into when I go to remove PERL 5.8 and install PERL 5.6.1 (as earlier suggested when 5.8 had issues) and install DBI.

I swear to make another donation to the site to support all the workers and and the users who provide the great support I have gotten in the past. Thank-you all for the help you have given, I'll give back with anything I can...

Mark
