Okay, reuploaded the original gz mysql file.

Gunziped it and followed the directions to the point of scripts/mysql_install_db

Tried: sh mysql_install_db Response: No such file or directory. Tried: sh mysql_install_db.sh and got back the following error message: [root scripts]# sh mysql_install_db.sh Didn't find @libexecdir@/mysqld You should do a 'make install' before executing this script

Tried typing in make install and got back this error message: [root scripts]# make install make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

Okay, Im more lost than before.

Any clues?

Thanks for the help peoples, it's much appreciated.
