How to repeat:
attempt installing RPM on glibc2.2 box

Suggested fix:
Either provide glibc2.2 linked libraries, or change web description on downloads page.

The "shared compat" packages are built from other RPMs, and
the MySQL-shared-4.0.26-0.i386.rpm RPM used in this build is,
 despite its name, a glibc2.3 package.

The packages

  MySQL-shared-compat-4.0.26-0.i386.rpm
  MySQL-shared-compat-4.1.15-0.i386.rpm
  MySQL-shared-compat-4.1.16-0.i386.rpm
  MySQL-shared-compat-4.1.18-0.i386.rpm
  MySQL-shared-compat-5.0.13-0.i386.rpm
  MySQL-shared-compat-5.0.15-0.i386.rpm
  MySQL-shared-compat-5.0.18-0.i386.rpm
  MySQL-shared-compat-5.0.18-0.i386.rpm
  MySQL-shared-compat-5.0.19-0.i386.rpm
  MySQL-shared-compat-5.0.20-0.i386.rpm
  MySQL-shared-compat-5.0.20a-0.i386.rpm
  MySQL-shared-compat-5.1.9-0.i386.rpm

incorrectly depend on glibc 2.3, i.e. can't be installed on
a glibc 2.2 system. For 4.0 we recommend to use the
older MySQL-shared-compat-4.0.25-0.i386.rpm. For
4.1 and up this will be corrected in the next release,
i.e. 4.1.19, 5.0.21 and 5.1.10 beta.
