This just shows you are installing a non SuSE package, and a src.rpm at that? Is that what you wanted? It shows it installed, but since it is a src.rpm, it just installs the spec file and sources, in your situation, under /usr/src/packages in the SPEC and SOURCES directories. It is ready to build a binary rpm, assuming you have all the dependencies needed to build the package.
I installed '/home/myhome/bin' as the first installation source in Yast. When I install using Yast I get the message 'MySQL not found on medium'. I'm using a clean install of Suse 10.0
How do I use rpm and/or Yast to install this package?
You need to install a binary rpm, i.e something like MYSQL-5.0.16-0.i586.rpm, which are architecture dependent. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871
