problems installing mysql4 on redhat 9 (small)

ok… So, i want to install mysql4.

downloaded rpms, imported keys all fine…

[root@li-229 rpms]# rpm -ivh MySQL-server-4.0.14-0.i386.rpm MySQL-client-4.0.14-0.i386.rpm

error: Failed dependencies:

fileutils is needed by MySQL-server-4.0.14-0

sh-utils is needed by MySQL-server-4.0.14-0

/bin/sh is needed by MySQL-server-4.0.14-0

/usr/bin/perl is needed by MySQL-server-4.0.14-0

/bin/sh is needed by MySQL-client-4.0.14-0

/usr/bin/perl is needed by MySQL-client-4.0.14-0

So, i go and grab coreutils-4.5.3-19.src.rpm and install that… but still get the same problem…. I dont really know too much about this so treat me as an idiot ;)

anyway… I cant understand it… if i do a which on sh and perl i get the following….

[root@li-229 rpms]# which sh

/bin/sh

[root@li-229 rpms]# which perl

/usr/bin/perl

Any idea's???

Cheers

It looks like your RPM database is hosed. Try running "rpm –rebuilddb".
