Well, I have a version installed. When I run 
/usr/share/mysql/mysql.server start &
as root it says OK.

Then, when I try to run it, just with 'mysql', I get the message 

Can't connect to local mysql server through socket 
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

And indeed when I look in the folder there is no such file.

When I try mysql -V I get
Ver 12.22 Distrib 4.0.26, for mandriva-Linux-gnu (i586)

mysql --help gives me the help list.

So I am a bit puzzled.
