The RPMS supplied by RedHat with version 7.1, work flawlessly. However,
on a redhat linux system, do an RPM install, making sure you meet all
the dependency requirements (i.e. libmysqlclient, etc). Most recent RPMs
already have a configuration to have the MySQL daemon automagically
start on boot...but if not, there are two keys here:
1) /sbin/chkconfig --level 345 mysql on
2) /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start (or restart)
the first will make sure mysql starts on boot during run levels 3,4, and
5 and the second is how to start/restart the daemon once the server is
running
SRC RPMS are for production i386.rpm files not for normal installation.
If you install a src rpm, you will not install the actual binaries,
these are made specifically for rebuilding on your given platform.
