【求助】怎样安装MYSQL FOR LINUX

具体情况如下:

[root@localhost mysql-standard-5.0.21-linux-i686]# ./configure
NOTE: This is a MySQL binary distribution. It's ready to run, you don't
need to configure it!
  
To help you a bit, I am now going to create the needed MySQL databases
and start the MySQL server for you.  If you run into any trouble, please
consult the MySQL manual, that you can find in the Docs directory.
  
Installing all prepared tables
Fill help tables
  
To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server
to the right place for your system
  
PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:
./bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h localhost.localdomain password 'new-password'
See the manual for more instructions.
  
NOTE:  If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run
the ./bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be
able to use the new GRANT command!
  
You can start the MySQL daemon with:
cd . ; ./bin/mysqld_safe &
  
You can test the MySQL daemon with the benchmarks in the 'sql-bench' directory:
cd sql-bench ; perl run-all-tests
  
Please report any problems with the ./bin/mysqlbug script!

Starting the mysqld server.  You can test that it is up and running
with the command:
./bin/mysqladmin version
[root@localhost mysql-standard-5.0.21-linux-i686]# chown: ‘mysql’: 无效的用户
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /home/mysql-standard-5.0.21-linux-i686/data
STOPPING server from pid file /home/mysql-standard-5.0.21-linux-i686/data/localhost.localdomain.pid
060612 16:45:02  mysqld ended　　　　　　

这个问题也郁闷了我几天，后来网上搜到答案。你下的这个包不是源码包，而是已经编译好的，不用你再编译，直接放在什么地方就成了。如果想用源码包，去找名字是mysql-4.1.18这样的。　　　　　　

我也遇到了同样的问题，不知道楼上的问题是怎么解决的？
