Help with RPM and MySQL

[Gresgott, Mark]

Thanks for the quick response.  I will give that a try when I get home.  However, what if this does not yield any results?  What should I try next?  Can I run rpm from any directory?

I think if I can find the installation and/or the package, I can get it installed and working.  I'm just having trouble with finding where things are.  Does rpm have a GUI interface?

Thanks.
Mark

try

rpm -q mysql

and

rpm -q mysql-server

to see if they are installed.  You need the mysql-server package for actually 
running the database locally.  You can use service mysqld start to start it, 
and chkconfig --levels=345 mysqld on to make sure it always starts from now 
on.
