Okay.. I see where the problem is.  The mysql client and server libs 
are in sync... it's DBD::Mysql itself that has the problem.  The 
confusion stems from the FC2 install doc, step 4, which says to remove 
the existing MySQL 3.x RPMs using --nodeps.  Since the MySQL client RPM 
and the DBD::MySQL RPM are co-dependant, I incorrectly assumed the 
document author would be aware that perl-DBD-MySQL would be installed, 
and that it was intentionally left off the list of RPMs to remove... 
that it was possibly intended to work with the MySQL 4.x libraries... 
an assumption that seemed supported by the use of the MySQL 4.x compat 
libraries.  The FC2 doc should probably be updated to include 
perl-DBD-MySQL in the list of RPMs to be removed.

It unfortunately looks like DBD::MySQL won't compile against those 
three specific MySQL RPMs, due to a missing mysql_config.  That's a 
separate issue to be worked out, however.  I'll dig up the correct 
selection of RPMs and then follow up here.

Thanks for the info,
    Matt
