Can't use Innodb in MySQL from RPM?

[carrot]

Hi,

I have a problem about using Innodb. Would you mind tell me how to solve the problem?

I am using Redhat 8.0 and have downloaded MySQL-3.23.53a-1.i386.rpm and MySQL-Max-3.23.53a-1.i386.rpm from http://www.mysql.com/. I use "rpm -Uvh package.rpm" to installed both rpm. It is quite normal when I use the MySQL.

However, after I copy the file to be my.cnf and save at /etc/my.cnf and un-comment the innodb lines. It shows me an error when starting the MySQL server.

The error:

[root@localhost root]# mysqld -u root

mysqld: unrecognized option '--innodb_data_home_dir=/var/lib/mysql/'

Does rpm package not support Innodb? Or anything that I missed in the installation? If yes, what can I do now?

Thanks a lot! =)
