Point taken..., maybe because, err..., uh...., nobody told me not to? 
 Yeah, that's it, that's the ticket.  Well, now I know.  Much kudos to 
you and yours.
Anyway, here's what I did in case others need explicit guidance.

Installation (Souce tarball only):
- cd to the directory that you want to unpack the tarball into, say 
/home/alex/install-platform.
- unpack the tarball.  This will create a directory like 
/home/alex/install-platform/mysql-max-version.
- Create the installation directory, NOTE:, this MUST be different than 
the source directory above.
  Let's use /home/alex/install-platform/mysql for example.
- cd to the directory that you unpacked the tarball in, 
/home/alex/install-platform/mysql-max-version.
- Execute the "configure" command listed (way) below.
- make
- make install
- Now you should have everything you need installed under 
/home/alex/install-platform/mysql .
- Add the directories to store the socket file and logs and whatever 
else you've got specified in ~/.my.cnf.

Config command:  
./configure --prefix=/home/alex/install-platform/mysql 
--with-unix-socket-path=/home/alex/install-platform/mysql --with-innodb 
--with-mysqld-user=mysql --with-comment --with-debug

OR  (here's a good one, looks killer huh?)

CFLAGS="-O3" CXX=gcc CXXFLAGS="-O3 -felide-constructors -fno-exceptions 
-fno-rtti" \
        ./configure --with-server-suffix=-max --with-innodb \
        --prefix=/home/alex/install_platform/mysql --enable-assembler \
        --with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static

Thanks.

String so this comes up in a search should someone get the same error 
message I got:  "are the same file"
