well, i did say "and others".  i had the php4 package installed, but 
there were other conflicts (that i don't remember at the moment -- the 
original problem was making sure the mysql-client libs were in synch 
with the mysql server i'm using.  i tried to go up to mysql-4.1, but the 
packages for mod_php, php, etc. have a dependency listed for the 
'earlier' release of mysql )
