OK, a few things you can try 1.- I usually compile everything my server uses. I recomended you to use the gui just because i tought rh installer would resolve the dependencies by itself, big mistake here =) RH seems to prefer PostgreSQL and considers MySQL a second hand choice =( Soooo, I can help you out compiling a fresh MySQL server or...
2.- Download a precompiled binaries from the mysql.com site, read the install instrucctions (quite easy by the way, we can help on that also!) and use mysql's own binaries Any choice is good and valid, make a choice and let us know if you have problems with it =) Sure we can help! =) Best Regards!
