MYSQL Help Please

[warmongr]

I am having some problem installing MySQL on A Red Hat 6.0 w/ 2.2.5 kernel. I have tried the RPM and the Binary from the MySQL web site and each time I am having different problems. Trying to install the 3.2 version.<br>
<br>
RPM:<br>
When I try and connect as root after the install I keep getting a connection refused error. The documentation at MySQL says that it should be wide open until a root password is set, however... I used:<br>
<br>
mysql -u root -p<br>
<br>
then hit enter at the password prompt. I have also tried the other options offered at the mysql web site.<br>
<br>
Binary:<br>
Keeps aborting with a recursion error when I try to compile it.<br>
<br>
Pardon my lack of information. I am new to MySQL.

MySQL is installed and working. Problem: Overcomplicating the issue.<br>

I installed the Server, but not the client RPM.<br>
