"/usr/local/mysql/bin/" is nowhere in the path "which" can only help you if your standard-user has the directory in his PATH and another user not in my opinion this is a configure/compile/install-problem /usr/local/ is intended to have the stahtdard unix-hirarchy like /usr/loca/bin, /usr/local/share, /usr/local/lib and normally /usr/local/bin IS in the PATH so the problem here is that "mysql" has the unix-hirarchy inside instead directly install into /usr/lcoal/ on the other hand doing this without a package-managment it would be better over the long to keep it chaind all in one directory as it is because you can uninstall it with simply remove the folder for the hadnful things on my linux-machines where such non-default locations are existing i usually set symlinks unter /usr/local/bin/ to the binarys, so they are seperated and from the user point of view in the PATh and all wroks fine additionally a "ls -l /usr/local/bin/" shows where all the stuff is physically installed instead haveing all details in mind or notice them somewhere you forget also :-)
