mysqlclient16 and mysqlclient15

[JimDunn]

Scott and everybody,

I currently have Plesk 8.6.0, PHP 5.3.6, MySQL 5.1.58, but mysqlclient is:

mysql-5.1.58-2.el5.art
mysqlclient15-5.0.92-1.ius.el5
mysql-libs-5.1.58-2.el5.art
mysql-server-5.1.58-2.el5.art

I would like to remove the mysqlclient15 and do an atomic "yum install mysqlclient16" but when I try to yum remove mysqlclient15, I get 100's of dependencies... which I don't want to remove.

QUESTION: Can mysqlclient15 and 16 be installed together? Co-exist ok? Can I remove the 15 after I install the 16???

Thx! : )

You wouldnt need 16 if you're using mysql 5.1 already, those are just client library packaged for backwards compatibility. If you had 5.5 though, then you could have both 15 and 16 at the same time.

Excellent, thx, then I'll stay with mysqlclient15 until I move to mysql 5.5, much appreciated.
