Question

I saw Trying to install Perl-Mysql DBD, mysql_config can't be found, and tried to locate mysql_config, but didn’t find it. So, I tried to install mysql-devel, and then I get this error-

[nbezzala@stats /]$ sudo yum install mysql-devel

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem  
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems  
                        package-cleanup --dupes  
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest  
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

mysql v 5.5.17 was installed on the machine, and I was trying to install 5.0.77 components via yum. Thanks Alexandr.
