In short, $ wget http://<mirror of your choice>/mysql-4.1.11-2.src.rpm $ rpmbuild -bb mysql-4.1.11-2.src.rpm However, you'd probably want to set up your own local build root: http://users.tkk.fi/~tkarvine/rpm-build-as-user.html Alternatively, you could do as others have suggested and just use the RPM packages from MySQL. Personally, I chose the rebuild option because the install was more Fedora-ized. -chris
