if it is on RHEL/centos, take a look at

yum list installed | grep hue

on the node where you installed hue.

Once you know what the packages are, you can uninstall each one with

yum erase <hue package>

Most likely you will see hue, hue-beeswax, hue-common, hue-hcatalog, hue-pig and hue-server packages.

Step 1) Check for installed hue rpms.

[root@abs ~]# rpm -qa | grep hue

hue-common-2.6.1.2.3.4.0-3485.el6.x86_64

hue-pig-2.6.1.2.3.4.0-3485.el6.x86_64

hue-hcatalog-2.6.1.2.3.4.0-3485.el6.x86_64

hue-2.6.1.2.3.4.0-3485.el6.x86_64

hue-beeswax-2.6.1.2.3.4.0-3485.el6.x86_64

hue-server-2.6.1.2.3.4.0-3485.el6.x86_64

Is this after reinstall? Are you planning to reinstall because of this error?

Try reinstalling mysql-libs. Look for that in your existing packages.
