Assuming you're not satisified with the newer mysql already in Centos4, I'd try grabbing a src.rpm from Centos 3 and rebuilding it... The following looks most promising: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-3/3/os/SRPMS/mysql-3.23.58-16.RHEL3.1.src.rpm download and "rpmbuild --rebuild ...src.rpm" and see if it works :) [and fix up what doesn't :)] [you'll need gperf installed to build] from my experimentation it seems to build OK, don't know if it installs/works though..
