Thanks for the catch Onno.

In related good news, percona is now offering a yum repo with the -compat package to address this! I haven’t had a chance to test it yet but I’ll edit the post when I do.

Thanks for this, but you have a small error in your rpm commands. you use: rpm -Uvh, but that won’t do the trick. It just removes the other ’shared-compat’ package. So when you install (or more precise update) the MySQL-shared-percona-5.1.39-8.rhel5.x86_64.rpm package, MySQL-shared-compat-5.1.39-0.rhel5.x86_64.rpm will be removed together with the libs where this is all about. ;o)

So just use ‘rpm -ivh –force’ instead of ‘rpm -Uvh –force’ and it will do the job for you.

Thanks!
