Will this work with mysql (from Red Had Portal) (no replies)

Hello,
I am trying get Connector-c++ to work on a Rhel 6 system that currently has MySQL installed via rmp downloaded from the Red Had customer portal. The rpms currently installed are:

mysql-5.1.73-8.el6_8.x86_64
MySQL-devel...
MySQL-server...
MySQL-libs...

I started to try and find a corresponding rpm between what is offered on the Rhel site and what is in the community bundle, but couldn't. For example, there is no MySQL-client-5.1.73-8.el6_8.x86_64.rpm on the Rhel site.

So, my question is... Is there a way to get Connector-c++ to work on my existing system, or do I have to remove the old MySQL and install the community version?

Thanks,
Jeff.
