Question wget error
I'm trying to download / install mysql from the terminal. Here is what happens when I try to use wget:

$ wget http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/M...gov/pub/mysql/
--13:29:16-- http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/M...gov/pub/mysql/
=> `index.html'
Resolving dev.mysql.com... failed: Name or service not known.

Now for the questions:
  • Why doesn't this work? I'm behind a company firewall maybe that has something to do with it?
  • How can I tell which version of mysql I need?
    • I found out which distro I'm using and got this: $ cat /proc/version
      Linux version 2.4.21-40.ELsmp (bhcompile@hs20-bc1-7.build.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-54)) #1 SMP Thu Feb 2 22:22:39 EST 2006
Thanks,
Will

looks like dns doesn't work for you... try to do a "ping www.unix.com" from your server and have a look if this works. and the firewall can be a problem also!

Nope ping doesn't work. Here is my output.

$ ping The UNIX and Linux Forums - Learn UNIX and Linux from Experts
ping: unknown host The UNIX and Linux Forums - Learn UNIX and Linux from Experts
$ ping Google
ping: unknown host Google

ask your network guys... i don't know your network. maybe it isn't allowed to use direct connection to the internet from your servers... why don't you download the packages with your workstation and transfer the files to the server?

Alright I think I have the first part figured out. Any advice on the second 1/2?
