i have just installed FC3, and when i did a "yum update" i get a missing dep error.

The error i get is this:

--> Processing Dependency: libmysqlclient.so.10 for package: MyODBC
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: missing dep: libmysqlclient.so.10 for pkg MyODBC

Well, how can i get yum working so i can update my packages to latest?

and I am thinking of upgrading to FC6 soon, so i really need yum working.

Can someone please help?

Thanks.
 
Possibly, make sure you have the shared libraries for mysql installed on the server and possibly do a "locate libmysqlclient.so" to see if it exists on the server under a different name.
 
when i locate for it, i got this:

[root@cp lib]# locate libmysqlclient.so
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.14
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.14.0.0


so...

what could be the issue here?
 
The MyODBC package may require you install the latest mysql packages as well.

If you can't do that for some reason, perhaps you should ask about the dependencies on a Fedora list, or install the MyODBC stuff from source.

What version of MySQL are you using? Try downloading the RPM for "MySQL-shared-compat" of your version off the MySQL website and using RPM to install that to see if that will fix it.
 
mysql Ver 14.7 Distrib 4.1.21, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) using readline 4.3

i dont have 686 why it says that?

btw, where do i download the mysql-shared-compat from mysql.com? i looked all over the site but couldnt find it.

coudl you help me?
