Installing MySQL and MySQLWorkbench In Offline Red Hat 7 Machine - mysql

I am trying to install mysql workbench on a system without network. I downloaded the mysql-workbench-community, mysql-community-{server, client, common, libs} which were noted in the "Installing RPM Packages" section of MySQL Install Manual. It states that these are the standard rpm packages needed for a basic functional install of mysql community. So with that I downloaded all the rpm packages and attempted to manually install each using:
sudo rpm -ivh mysql-community-package-name.rpm
Unfortunately I keep getting dependency errors. I found this link to obtain all the dependencies for a package. So on my second attempt I ran the following:
Repoquery -R --resolve --recursive mysql-community-server | xargs -r yumdownloader
Which gave me about 100 rpm packages. I transferred them onto my machine and unfortunately more dependencies like mysql-connectors-community and mysql-=tools-community came up which were never documented or mentioned as dependencies with the script.
What am i doing wrong? Is there a way to download all the rpms and bundle them together as a custom RPM in the future? I see ubuntu has a apt-offline command mentioned here. Is there a similar method I can apply for redhat?
Update1:
I have an idea to create a container rhel7 instance, mounting /root/tmpkg and running this example. But is there another way I should consider?

Install GreenPAK Designer RPM

I am attempting to install closed source software from Silego, GreenPAK Designer, on a machine running Fedora 19. The supported installation packages on Silego's Website only target Ubuntu and Debian. I downloaded the .deb package and used Alien to convert to an RPM. So far so good, but a dry run of yum install showed dependency errors, which I solved by installing the necessary packages with yum:
qt5-qbase
qt5-qbase-gui
qt5-qtdeclarative
qt5-qtlocation
qwt
Now, yum installed the above libraries in /usr/lib/ but the GreenPAK RPM defaults to /usr/local/bin as the output dir. I figured I could run
sudo yum localinstall --nodeps --noscripts greenpak-designer-x.x.x.rpm
and get a successful install but I received conflict errors relating to dirs such as '/', '/usr', '/usr/bin' etc. I worked around this issue with:
rpmrebuild -pe --notest-install --replacefiles --noscripts greenpak-designer.x.x.x.rpm
and removing the offending lines in the script. It allowed me to install rpm but the software is broken because of dependency issues (not surprisingly). From the system log:
Jan 4 16:06:49 pelican gnome-session[1729]: /usr/local/greenpak-designer/bin/GP5: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.52: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The machine has a /usr/lib/libicui18n.so.50
One thing I did not try is rebuilding my shared object cache with ldconfig, which sometimes solves problems with missing .so links when building from source but I don't see how that would apply in this instance (I'm not trying to link object files to libraries, rather simply trying to drop binaries in default install locations, no?)
Of course, I contacted the vendor and begged for an RPM. The contact was helpful but informed me the software folks are on a well deserved break. I thought I'd continue puttering with this in the meantime while I have time.
Any ideas? It seems the solution to this problem would be helpful when trying to install almost any closed source software targeting Debian on a Fedora box.

Why can't I uninstall mysql-5.5 & install mysql-5.6 on Amazon Linux machine?

I'm on a 64-bit Amazon Linux machine.
I had previously installed mysql-server 5.5. (using sudo yum install)
However, I soon found out that my application requires MySql-serve 5.6.
So I uninstalled mysql-server 5.5. (using sudo yum remove mysql-server) and now I'm following these instruction to install mysql-server 5.6.
But I'm running into a problem.
when I try to do the second install, I get the following 2 errors:
file /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.18 from install of mysql-community-libs-5.6.14-3.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package mysql55-libs-5.5.46-1.10.amzn1.x86_64
file /etc/my.cnf from install of mysql-community-server-5.6.14-3.el6.x86_64 conflicts with file from package mysql-config-5.5.46-1.10.amzn1.x86_64
Why on earth am I getting these two errors? How do I fix them?
I removed mysql-server-5.5, so why is it conflicting with 5.6?
I did ls on /etc/my.cnf and /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.18 and the files don't even exist!! If the files don't exist how can they be conflicting with other files?? Who can help explain this?
PS, I tried #msknapp's explanation here: Can't install MySQL 5.6 by RPM, however I don't know what to do after step #1 to install the rpm. I think that step is left unstated.
mysql-server (of whatever version) depends on other packages ( in your case mysql-community-libs mysql-community-server)
When it is installed in the first place with the old version this stuff is installed. When you "uninstall" mysql-server these dependencies are NOT removed.
When you try and install the new version these still existing packages will conflict with the new package. It does not matter if the actual files in the package are there, it is the package and it's listing of what to expect that conflicts.
To resolve your problem figure out what the dependencies of mysql-server were and uninstall them before attemping the install.

what's the meaning of such mysql rpms

rpm -qa on my host,i see:
mysql-5.1.73-3.el6_5.x86_64
mysql-libs-5.1.73-3.el6_5.x86_64
but i still cant see mysql.h and mysql.so in the lib and include dir.so i google and see other two rpm:
mysql-server-5.1.73-3.el6_5.x86_64
mysql-devel-5.1.73-3.el6_5.x86_64
mysql-client-5.1.73-3.el6_5.x86_64
so
1)what's the meaning of these rpms?to me,mysql-libs-5.1.73-3.el6_5.x86_64 should have the *.so an *.a files installed,but i cant see them on the host?
"yum list installed mysql*" says nothing installed,but "rpm -qa" can see msyql rpms?what the diff of these two cmds?
mysql is the command line client
mysql-client is the same thing for Mandriva
mysql-libs are the shared libraries required for MySQL clients
mysql-server is the MySQL server
mysql-devel are the header files required to develop (compile) MySQL applications

Automatically install build dependencies prior to building an RPM package

I am trying to build a .rpm package. I have just followed the steps to do that. Till now all steps were gone fine but now i just stuck with this step. I just ran the following command and got this error:
rpmbuild -ba asterisk.spec
error: Failed build dependencies:
gtk2-devel is needed by asterisk-1.8.12.2-1.fc15.x86_64
libsrtp-devel is needed by asterisk-1.8.12.2-1.fc15.x86_64
[... more ...]
freetds-devel is needed by asterisk-1.8.12.2-1.fc15.x86_64
uw-imap-devel is needed by asterisk-1.8.12.2-1.fc15.x86_64
I am using fedora-15. How to resolve this error?
How I do install all depencencies during installation of src.rpm package. Is it possible?
You can use the yum-builddep command from the yum-utils package to install all the build dependencies for a package.
The arguments can either be paths to spec files, paths to source RPMs or the names of packages which exist as source RPMs in a configured repository, for example:
yum-builddep my-package.spec
or
yum-builddep my-package.src.rpm
The same thing can be achieved on newer versions of Fedora that use dnf as their package manager by making sure that dnf-plugins-core is installed and then doing:
dnf builddep my-package.spec
or
dnf builddep my-package.src.rpm
yum-builddep doesn't seem to work if the mirror you use doesn't serve source RPMs. This may not handle all cases, but it usually works for me:
sudo yum install -y $(<rpmbuild> | fgrep 'is needed by' | awk '{print $1}')
where <rpmbuild> is your rpmbuild command (e.g., rpmbuild -ba foo.spec).
On PHP building - especially phpbrew I used dnf builddep php, it worked.

Can we install MySQL different versions on Linux CentOS5.8?

I am trying to install a software which required MySQL-server, MySQL-client installed on the server so now I want to install MySQL-server and MySQL-client using rpm files "MySQL-server-5.5.17-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm" and "MySQL-client-5.5.17-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm".
I have installed MySQL-client but when I try to run mysql-server
*rpm -i MySQL-server-5.5.17-1.rhel5.x86_64.rpm*
it's showing error:
*error: Failed dependencies:
MySQL conflict with mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_6.6.x86_64
MySQL conflict with mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_6.6.i386
MySQL conflict with mysql-server-5.0.77-4.el5_6.6.x86_64*
So how can i solve this problem?
the error given by you *error: Failed dependencies:
MySQL conflict with mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_6.6.x86_64
MySQL conflict with mysql-5.0.77-4.el5_6.6.i386
MySQL conflict with mysql-server-5.0.77-4.el5_6.6.x86_64*
It clear show that the machine you are going to install mysql 5.5 rpm have mysql 5.0.77 installed .
to resolve this problem .
1. you take backup of datadir and my.cnf (if you are using mysql 5.0 db server earlier).
2. remove all mysql 5.0 server packages , to remove these package you should knew what are the packages already installed on machine
to view all mysql package already installed use rpm -qa | grep -i "mysql*" this command show what package is already installed on machine
now you have to remove all package which name shows in above command.
to remove a package/rpm use rpm -e mysql-5.0.** if show error then use
rpm -e --nodeps mysql-5.0.**
we have to remove all packages one by one by using rpm -e .
after successful remove all older version of mysql , now start installation of mysql-5.5*** packages by using rpm -ivh mysql-5.5***.rpm.
First question - is the version of MySQL already installed actually in use or was it simply there as a result of a fresh CentOS install? If the former, try upgrading rather than installing. If the latter, uninstall the old version (possibly using the --no-deps option on rpm) and then install the newer version
Next, are you trying to replace MySQL or install another version alongside it?
If the former, again try upgrading rather than installing. If that's not possible, you're going to have to remove the older version and then install the new version
If the latter, and if it is possible, look at the --prefix and --relocate options in RPM.as they may help.
If you do to mange to get it installed side by side with an older, you'll have fun and games ensuring that the relevant versions are pointing to the correct libraries and that you don't get any corruption between them. Also, you will need to run them so that they listen on separate ports with separate database folders, PID and socket files etc.
Whatever you need to do, do it out of business hours with as many backups as you can do
