If you're using FC3 I'd stronly suggest you use the rpms offered by 
mysql.org:

MySQL-server-4.1.11-0
MySQL-shared-4.1.11-0
MySQL-client-4.1.11-0
MySQL-bench-4.1.11-0
MySQL-devel-4.1.11-0
MySQL-shared-compat-4.1.11-0

I made this same upgrade just last week.
1) Download the rpms above
2) Stop the mysql server
3) `rpm -Uvh MySQL-*` in the directory where you downloaded the rpms 
too, as root
4) `mysql_fix_privilege_tables` as root
5) Start mysql service

And that's it.
