I just downloaded the RPM's from mysql.com and they work fine..

I installed..
MySQL-client-4.0.17-0.i386.rpm
MySQL-server-4.0.17-0.i386.rpm
MySQL-shared-compat-4.0.17-0.i386.rpm

After that I installed the packages that were dependent on mysql like 
php-mysql and they went in with no problem.. No need to rebuild from srpm..

Alternatively if you want to build then this page may help..
