Yes, you can compile from source, just make sure you specify the proper directories in ./configure.
try ./configure --help | less to see all the options. Make sure you know where your mysql is installed now and where it's data is now. Then specify those on the ./configure line. With a little preparation, you should be able to do the ./configure, make, make install without a problem. =C= p.s. did I mention making a backup of your system before starting?
