"Nothing to do" when installing mysql devel

Question

I'm using CentOS 6.4 and trying to install mysql-devel by "yum" It cannot be installed and there is no error message. I can use "yum search" to find a package but cannot install it.

/home/centos64/ce-installer:sudo yum install MySQL51-devel.x86_64

Answer 1

You have the name of the package wrong. Yum returns "nothing to do" because there is no "MySQL51-devel.x86_64" package available. Try this:

sudo yum install mysql-devel.x86_64

Answer 2

check out whether already installed:

rpm -qa | grep -i mysql
