I'm not sure I would just copy it because you still have to get it
registered with the system so it knows what library files you have.
Installing it from RPM would do that for you.

Here's the problem though. You say you want to install from CD, but
how did you get MySQL-4.1.9? The FC3 CDs don't have 4.1.9 on them. If
you try to install 4.1.9 as an upgrade to your 3.23.xx installation,
it will attempt to remove the .10 version to upgrade it to the .14
version. But the .10 version is required to satisy other dependencies.
If you downloaded 4.1.9 to install, then why not download the
shared-compat-4.1.9 file and install that?

The whole reason for the shared-compat file's existence is to allow
you to satisfy the dependencies for packages that require the .10
version, while still installing the .14 version as well.
