I've neglected my PC...

and for quite a while it would appear.  Anyway, having finally had enough with the constant performance problems I’ve been encountering on my work desktop, I went through and did a semi-thorough cleaning: disk defrag, and registry cleaning.

 

In the past I’ve always used window’s built in disk defrag application, but I’d heard good things about Auslogics’ so gave it a try. The best part might be the information it provides at the end by way of “Speed increased by: xx%”.  I should prob. work on giving my PC more TLC in the future…

 

mysqlclient.so.14

Does the following look familiar to you?

Error: Missing Dependency: libmysqlclient.so.14()(64bit) is needed by package perl-DBD-MySQL

I was getting this and several other variations while attempting to update/install some packages on CentOS 4.  It was strange because I could find the exact package it was talking about with a manual search.  However, doing a "yum search mysqlclient" didn't return any package for me newer than mysqlclient10.

Here's an easy solution:

yum remove mysqlclient*
yum --enablerepo=centosplus install mysqlclient14*

From here on you should be good to go...
