I have a .cpan in ~david but don't realy know how to use it.

 Thanks for any help    david

I suggest you get the rpms from www.mysql.com. You will likely need both client and server packages.

I did. building 4.0.17src.rpm as I write.

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..
