What server are you using?  What version of MySQL are you currently 
using?  How was it installed?  If it was an RPM, you may need to uninstall 
this before proceeding.

Anyway, to install MySQL from source, do the following:


wget http://www.mysql.com/Downloads/MySQL-3.23/mysql-3.23.36.tar.gz

unpack the tarball, and enter the source directory then;

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
make
make check
make install

I have installed this on RaQ3 just the other day, and the installation went 
through fine.
