Compile it man! Set the flags so everything goes under /usr/local/mysql. What's the big deal? What was that about 'making my server dirty'? That's crazy talk. We've got similar apps that hook together tomcat, rmi and mysql 4.1 - we can't change versions for a variety of reasons - but when I added new servers - I justed rsync'd over the same version from another another machine. It's compiled for the same arch - and it's all self-contained.

Installing an old mysql into the latest centos is not the best way either. Why not installing the whole database into the new mysql? Unless it's using functions that are not available/compatible with mysql5, it will work OK.
Wrong. I'm running a public library management software that requires MySQL 4 and will not run on MySQL 5. The MySQL documentation also states that some functions in MySQL 5 are *not* backwards-compatible.
