[NBLUG/talk] How to uninstall mySQL? Any expert can help?

[Johnson Leung]

I developed software on Solaris before. It just happened that I was not a
system administrator.

I do not have any of these packages:
MySQL-python-0.9.1-6
qt-MySQL-3.1.1-6
MyODBC-2.50.39-11
perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021-3
Where can I get them?

When I go to www.mysql.com, they only have:
MySQL-client-4.0.18-0.i386.rpm
MySQL-devel-4.1.1-0.i386.rpm
MySQL-server-4.0.18-0.i386.rpm
MySQL-shared-4.1.1-0.i386.rpm
MySQL-shared-compat-4.1.1-0.i386.rpm

I can only install (rpm -i) the client, server, and devel. 
When I do a rpm -qa | grep -i mysql, I get
MySQL-client-4.0.18-0
MySQL-server-4.0.18-0
MySQL-devel-4.1.1-0

When I tried to install shared or shared-compat, I get:
error: Failed dependencies:
   libcrypto.so.0.9.6 is needed by MySAL-shared-4.1.1-0
   libssl.so.0.9.6 is needed by MySQL-shared-4.1.1-0

Where can I get these libraries?

Thanks,
Johnson

OK, no problem.  I will restate my previous recc.  I think you should slow 
down a bit and get to know the operating system & software installation a 
little better before you jump into this.  You may lose many hairs.

That is just a query of the rpm database.  extraction can be a process of 
removing packages and their dependencies in an order that makes the God's 
happy.

I would reference your install instructions for zwarehouse first.  You need
to 
UNinstall the following packages and any of their dependencies.  Also 
check /var/lib/mysql/ for your installed databases from the red hat install.

mysql-server-3.23.54a-11
libdbi-dbd-mysql-0.6.5-5
mod_auth_mysql-1.11-12
php-mysql-4.2.2-17
mysql-devel-3.23.54a-11
mysql-3.23.54a-11
-------
You will probably want to keep these packages you have already added from 
MySQL.com's packages;

MySQL-python-0.9.1-6
qt-MySQL-3.1.1-6
MyODBC-2.50.39-11
perl-DBD-MySQL-2.1021-3

I don't know if you need to install both.
