I got a problem with the Installation in LINUX, too.
I download the MySQL 4.0.1Server (i386) (7M) in
http://www.mysql.com/
and use root access to install mysql database with the command:
shell => rpm -i MySQL-4.0.1-2.i386.rpm
And I saw the message:
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
This is done with:
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h piii700 password 'new-password'
See the manual for more instructions.
Then I try to change the root password to mySQL database with the
mysqladmin, and magically, there is NO mysqladmin program at the
/usr/bin/ directory
I try to use the shell => mysql to see whether mysql command works
but.... unexpectly, "bash: mysql: command not found" message was return
back.
Please advice me what I need to do. I am using Red Hat Linux version
7.3
