Mysql – can’t install thesql-devel on centos 6.5

centos6MySQLpercona

I need mysql-devel package to be installed on my CentOS 6.5 running Percona 5.5 (already installed & running).

When I try to install the devel package like this:

yum --enablerepo=remi install mysql-devel

I get the following error:

Error: Package: mysql-devel-5.5.37-1.el6.remi.i686 (remi)
           Requires: real-mysql-libs(x86-32) = 5.5.37-1.el6.remi

Error: mysql conflicts with Percona-Server-client-55-5.5.37-rel35.0.el6.i686

Here's what's currently installed on my server:

[root@server1 ~]# yum list installed | grep mysql
php-mysqlnd.i686                  5.4.29-1.el6.remi                    @remi

[root@server1 ~]# yum list installed | grep percona
Percona-Server-client-55.i686     5.5.37-rel35.0.el6                   @percona
Percona-Server-server-55.i686     5.5.37-rel35.0.el6                   @percona
Percona-Server-shared-55.i686     5.5.37-rel35.0.el6                   @percona
[root@server1 ~]#

Any ideas how to fix this dependency error?

It looks like the packages provided by remi aren't compatible with the ones supplied by Percona. Fortunately it looks like Percona supply the packages too 

yum list | grep percona | grep devel
Percona-SQL-devel-50.x86_64             5.0.92-b23.89.rhel6            percona
Percona-Server-devel-51.x86_64          5.1.73-rel14.11.603.rhel6      percona
Percona-Server-devel-55.x86_64          5.5.37-rel35.0.el6             percona
Percona-Server-devel-56.x86_64          5.6.17-rel65.0.el6             percona
Percona-XtraDB-Cluster-devel.x86_64     1:5.5.34-23.7.6.565.rhel6      percona
Percona-XtraDB-Cluster-devel-55.x86_64  1:5.5.37-25.10.756.el6         percona
Percona-XtraDB-Cluster-devel-56.x86_64  1:5.6.15-25.5.759.rhel6        percona

So you should be able to install the one you want e.g.

yum install Percona-Server-devel-55
