[Dovecot] Which version of dovecat I must use quit mysql 14.12 5.0.24a?
Hello everybody!!
I'm new on linux machine configuration, and I have a question related to product versions. We've Linux seweb1 2.6.9-5.EL installed, but instead of install the mysql product from "Red Hat Interprise Linux 4" CD what is mysql-0:4.1.7-4.RHEL4.1.i386, we installed: *mysql 14.12 5.0.24a *So, now, when we tried to install dovecot, it needs mysql-0:4.1.7-4.RHEL4.1.i386, perl-DBD-MySQL-0:2.9004-3.1.i386 and postgresql-libs-0:74.6-1.RHEL4.2.i386. I don't want to install these packets from mysql because I'm afraid to crash the mysql that we've now working...... So, my question is, what I need to do in this case?
Can I install the mysql CD version without interferring to our actual BD working: *mysql 14.12 5.0.24a? *Or....Which version of dovecot we must install in order to work with *mysql 14.12 5.0.24a.
*I would be very gratefully if you could help me, beacause we afraid to crash the BD that is working now, and we don't know how to install dovecot in this case.
Best regards,
Maria

This is only peripherally related to dovecot, since you are trying to install some third-party RPM file which is not provided by the project itself. It is not, in practice, possible to install an RPM of MySQL different from the one used to build packages that depend on MySQL (since the libraries are not necessarily compatible). Precompiled binary RPM's produced by third-parties are by necessity based on the distro-supplied RPM's, so you cannot freely mix and match.
Of course, you could download the source code from dovecot.org and actually build dovecot from scratch (probably still the preferred method). Make sure that you install the MySQL dev RPM that matches the libraries you already have installed (since the headers, etc. are not usually provided in the base RPM).
