For the configuration of MySql these dependencies are required as:

mysqlclient9-5.0
mysql-devel-5.0
php-mysql-5.0

install by rpm -i vh mysql-server-5.0.rpm and others also same

If configured in RHEL the .rpm are needed.
if configured in debian the .deb are needed and also one can do configuration as
apt-get install mysql-server-5.0
apt-get install mysql-client-5.0

After installing
 start the Mysql as
 /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start  (RHEL)

/etc/init.d/mysql start      (Debian)

The default configuration file is in /etc/my.cnf

Ans ALso reset or assign a password as
