in thread (OT) Redhat ES 3.0 and MySQL 4.0

AMD? A Dell 2850 is an Intel Xeon machine with EM64T support. I don't think Dell uses AMD, unless there has been a recent change. Dell and AMD? Still unlikely

    You make a good point about the Dell. But nonetheless look at the uname -a that he posted. It says x86_64, which is the same thing as AMD64.

      And a Xeon is a 32 bit beast even if it supports 64 bit memory addressing with EM64T. Does not compute.

        Oh yeah. I wasn't even thinking of that.

    You had it right for the most part, I was trying to install the IA64 version. I'm an idiot, read the updated question above for a real update on how stupid I am. Thank-you for your help!!

      Glad you got it sorted. This is unusual architecture (currently). Almost anything will compile from source on RH so I suggest investing a moment of two to learn about compiling from source may be worth your time. Often all you need is ./configure && make && make install

        Thank-you again for your help! I've built some programs using the commands from above, but I really don't understand what to do when something goes wrong. I'm a MSCE who decided not to use any Microsoft products for my servers to increase security and reliability. I had 3 months to learn linux, PERL, MySQL, build the servers and get a program up and running for a 5,000+ person site with 15+ vendor interfaces: I've got a lot of gaps in my knowledge and understanding of how it all works. I can type many of the commands, but struggle when something goes wrong, this drives me crazy.

        Thank-you for the time you spent to help me out!!
