rpm -e mysql should get you going. Run that command from a shell prompt.

I was no wable to remove mysql installation using rpm -e command but I can't install mysql from source. It seems the script is not running and prompted the error
" Didn't find ./bin/mysqld
You should do a 'make install' before executing this script"

Please do help Really need it badly

The old style source install is generally in at least 3 steps:

1. ./configure --with-someargs

After you've "untarred" the source tree, look for the README file. Read it. It'll probably tell you to cd to the directory with the configure script, and run the script with arguments depending on what type of support and filesystem layout you need.

2. make

This runs the compiler on the source code.

3. make install

This installs the program(s).

Check for docs like README or INSTALL in the untarred source dir. If you can't find what you need there, take a look at the MySQL site. There should be documentation there.
