1, first download the MySQL client and server https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
2. Installation command RPM-IVH mysql-server-5.1.73-1.glibc23.i386.rpm
You may encounter problems here: About 10 + errors
Libc.so.6 (glibc_2.0) is needed by mysql-server-5.1.73-1.glibc23.i386
Libgcc_s.so.1 is needed by mysql-server-5.1.73-1.glibc23.i386
Baidu has found some information for half a day
Here are just a few key words to be extracted:
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, if a package is available for both the main and the compatibility architectures, both arch Itectures of the were installed by default. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, only the primary architecture are installed by default. To avoid problems during the Backup-archive client and API installation on a 64-bit machine, being sure to install libstdc++ and compat-libstdc++.
To be honest, starting with red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, the default is to install only the packages required by the main schema, not the packages that are compatible with the architecture, that is, the 64-bit system installs only 64-bit packages by default. To avoid this problem, in a 64-bit system, install both 64-bit packages and 32-bit compatibility packs. CentOS and the relationship from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Don't need me to say it, so I feel this answer is more reliable, try it quickly.
After installing yum install libstdc++.i686, I found only one error left.
Libgcc_s.so.1 is needed by mysql-server-5.1.73-1.glibc23.i386
Download this libgcc-4.4.7-18.el6.i686.rpm
Installing RPM-IVH libgcc-4.4.7-18.el6.i686.rpm
Then install RPM-IVH mysql-server-5.1.73-1.glibc23.i386.rpm
No problem, install successfully
3, install the client RPM-IVH mysql-client-5.1.73-1.glibc23.i386.rpm
Another problem libncursesw.so.5 is needed by mysql-client-5.1.73-1.glibc23.i386
