hey friends, I download the Mysql 4.1.11 from the Mysql site .I am using FC3 ,it did what was said or documented to make the mysql 4.0 to run.Now the problem I am facing is that I have to go to the /usr/local/mysql/bin/ and then ./mysql -u root -p to access the mysql. I added mysql.server to /etc/init.d / directory so that mysql can run at startup.But I am not able to configure mysql in such a manner that i can run the binary executables in mysql/bin/ from any where. Is that due to path problem means the path for the mysql is not there in the PATH variable in bash_profile.I have the root access for the pc and I did everything through root. Please guide me. Thanks & Regards Ankush Grover
