brpm -qa|grep mysql/b will show you what mysql
packages you have installed.
You probably have both 3.x and 4.x packages installed
and assuming you don't have a 3.x database you want to
preserve, I would suggest uninstalling the 3.x package
with brpm --erase iname_of_3.x_package/i/b
To determine where the files in a package are
installed you can query the package via rpm. To do so
simply do brpm -ql iname_of_package/i/b
You can use rpm -ql to find where the 4.0 rpm
installed its binaries and execute them from there.

After installing FC2 i realized that the mysql
server version installed
was 3.x. I wanted to install version 4.0, so i got
the rpm
package from mysql website and i installed it on my
system.
Now it seems like mysql server is not running. I get
no output for the
command ps -A | grep mysql. Also, when i try to
connect to mysql
server using mysql client, i get the following error
message:
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server
through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
It seems like mysql server does not automatically
start when i boot up
my computer... how can i start it manually? Where in
the filesystem does
mysql server get installed after installing the rpm?
Though, when i run the Gnome Service config.
utility, i can see mysql
service on the list, with a checkmark, and it
appears to be running...
i'm so confused about this.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
