I need some help understanding the installation process of mysql 4.0 on RH 7.3. I go thru the process of downloading the rpms and installing them per some choppy directions. After the install of the server, client files, max, etc, I do rpm -qa | grep -i mysql and it shows all of the mysql installed. But I can never seem to connect to mysql. If I do rpm -e to uninstall mysql I get sw not installed.
What's the proper way to remove these rpms so that I can try to install the tar as I want to instruct mysql to install into the /usr/src directory, or can this be done with the rpm versions? Excuse my obvious ignorance but I'm just not getting the mysql rpm install process.
