Hey Eric,

I think you would have better luck installing from sources than using those
old outdated RPM's. That's how I've done it on my RAQ2. I had success with
these instructions along with a lot of other people on the list.

You could follow just the first part of the instructions to get MySQL
installed. I just installed the latest stable version of MySQL from sources
a couple of weeks ago, so I know they work.

HTH,
