Presumably this is a locally built version of mysql since the FC3 mysql 
has binaries installed in /usr/bin?

If you want to do this for just one account, tweak that accounts's 
.bash_profile to add the entry.

If you want to do this system-wide, you probably want to add entries to 
/etc/profile.d to add the directory into the PATH variable at the 
appropriate place.
