That makes me think OP did a yum install mysql instead of a yum group
install. Per the output in my previous post, default packages for the
*group* include mysql-server. If my assumption is correct, he'll
probably hit more stumbling blocks, depending on what he's doing
ultimately, as other parts of a default install will likely be missing
too. Might be better to unstall (that *ought* to be a valid word, huh?
Would save typing. :-) and do a group install to get a good starting
point.

Hi
as i originally posted i did not install Mysql, i just did a default boot
install of the CentOS DVD iso.
seems 1 package of MySql was installed mysql-5.0.45-7.el5.
i followed the advice to yum mysql-server and now its up and running.
(yum got 1 dependence Perl-DBD)
thanks to all who replied.
Mark
