You need root privileges.
Login as root or use sudo. E.g.
sudo rpm -Uvh MySQL-shared-compat-5.0.19-0.rhel4.i386.rpm
If you don't have root or sudo access, you can't perform this upgrade.
You could possibly use the --prefix and --relocate rpm install options
to install mysql into a directory for which you do have write
permissions, but that gets complicated.
