I've been reading, and saw a post that he said he just updated his linux packages mainly this:

    * gcc
    * make
    * mysql
    * mysql-devel
    * mysql-server
    * pcre-devel
    * subversion
    * zlib-devel

Since there are different package managers, you have to tell us which one you use or at least which type of linux you use.

If you use Debian or any other system with apt, log in as root by writing

sudo su

and then

apt-get update

on CentOS to update everything:

yum -y update
To list what updates will be installed, and prompt Y/N:
yum update
To update just 1 package or several packages that match a search:
yum update gcc
yum update mysql*
