Linux – How to i install thesql_config on Red Hat Linux 4

linuxMySQLredhatrpm

I've been tasked with implementing a few upgrades on a Red Hat Linux 4 box that is already running MySQL. I've found the need for the mysql_config tool, but i can't locate it as already being installed anywhere.

The package manager i'm using is RPM.

rpm -qa | grep -i mysql 
MySQL-client-enterprise-gpl-5.0.56sp1-0.rhel4
MySQL-shared-compat-enterprise-gpl-5.0.56sp1-0.rhel4
MySQL-server-enterprise-gpl-5.0.56sp1-0.rhel4

Here's some info about the MySQL installation:

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%version%';
+-------------------------+-------------------------------+
| Variable_name           | Value                         |
+-------------------------+-------------------------------+
| protocol_version        | 10                            |
| version                 | 5.0.56sp1-enterprise-gpl-log  |
| version_comment         | MySQL Enterprise Server (GPL) |
| version_compile_machine | i686                          |
| version_compile_os      | redhat-linux-gnu              |
+-------------------------+-------------------------------+

I've done a bit of looking around online, but not having much luck.

How can i install mysql_config on this box?

Since mysql_config is a developer tool, it will probably be in the equivalent devel package. You seem to have obtained these packages directly from Oracle, so ask Oracle to provide you with the equivalent MySQL-devel-enterprise-gpl package.

(Oh, and that's about 40 patches out of date; it's on 5.0.96 now.)

(And RHEL 4 went out of support two years ago...)
