That makes me think OP did a yum install mysql instead of a yum group install. Per the output in my previous post, default packages for the *group* include mysql-server. If my assumption is correct, he'll probably hit more stumbling blocks, depending on what he's doing ultimately, as other parts of a default install will likely be missing too. Might be better to unstall (that *ought* to be a valid word, huh? Would save typing. :-) and do a group install to get a good starting point.

Hi
as i originally posted i did not install Mysql, i just did a default boot install of the CentOS DVD iso. seems 1 package of MySql was installed mysql-5.0.45-7.el5.
i followed the advice to yum mysql-server and now its up and running. (yum got 1 dependence Perl-DBD)
thanks to all who replied.
