You should have multiple mysql packages installed, and the src is
irrelevant.  These are the packages I've got:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ewilts]$ rpm -qa | grep mysql
mysql-devel-3.23.54a-3.71
mysql-server-3.23.54a-3.71
mysql-3.23.54a-3.71
php-mysql-4.1.2-7.1.6

Naturally, you also need to ensure that mysqld is actually started...

Believe it or not, but you can type in that entry into a Google search

be wrong on the very first page that Google returned.
