Eh?! MySQL has to be one of the simplest pieces of software to install (on Linux at least). Just create a user/group called mysql (in the unlikely event that you don't already have them) ungzip it somewhere, and make sure ALL the directories/sub directories are owned by mysql and group mysql (this trips people up). Change to the directory created when you ungzipped it. Type./configure and it'll sort itself out and start up. Then change the password for root etc... For subsequent boots, add an init script to start it automatically, or change to the mysql directory, type "bin/safe_mysqld &" and you're running.
