Please bottom post, Joseph.
If you install MySQL from the source tarball using the defaults:
# configure
# make
# make install
it ends up in /usr/local/mysql. If you build it so that it looks native
to the system:
# configure --prefix=/
# make
# make install
it ends up the way it's distributed in Red Hat and FC1.
