Erik meant that you need to have "mysql-server" package installed, not
just "mysql" package. Here's an example:

  $ rpm -qa|grep mysql
  mysql-3.23.58-2
  mysql-server-3.23.58-2

  $ rpm -ql mysql-server-3.23.58-2
  /etc/logrotate.d/mysqld
  /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld
  /usr/bin/mysqladmin   <--- Here it is
  /usr/bin/safe_mysqld
  /usr/libexec/mysqld
  /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-3.23.58
  /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-3.23.58/my-huge.cnf
  /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-3.23.58/my-large.cnf
  /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-3.23.58/my-medium.cnf
  /usr/share/doc/mysql-server-3.23.58/my-small.cnf
  /var/lib/mysql
  /var/run/mysqld

So you need to have package named mysql-server-$version installed. In
fact, you do not have MySQL server daemon at all if you don't have
mysql-server package.

Hope this helps,
