    Greetings all,

    I'm a bit of a newb so please bear with me:

    I selected the mysql package when I installed FC3 (as server). I then ran
    "yum update" and just let it update everything. That's a good thing, right?

    Anyway, so far, so good: named/bind is working well (after a week of
    reading!), apache and php are running too. It was a nice surprise when php
    worked 'out of the box'!

    But I can't start mysqld!

    Using updatedb and locate do not find the mysqld file on the system.

    So...

    "yum info mysql" reports:
    Installed Packages
    Name : mysql
    Arch : i386
    Version: 3.23.58
    Release: 14
    Size : 5.2 M
    Repo : installed
    Summary: MySQL client programs and shared library.

    "rpm -q mysql" reports:
    mysql-3.23.58-14

    "rpm -i /var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages/mysql-3.23.58-14.i386.rpm"
    reports:
    package mysql-3.23.58-14 is already installed

    running "mysql_install_db" from /usr/bin reports:
    Didn't find /usr/libexec/mysqld
    You should do a 'make install' before executing this script

    (Yeah, I can't find mysqld either!)

    Do I need to do a 'make install'? What directory should that be done in? I
    can't really tell where mysql is installed. I'm confused because I thought
    installing the rpm (from anaconda and/or yum) would eliminate that step. So
    I'm kinda stuck now... hate to muck up an otherwise good install of FC3.

    Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated!
