I downloaded MYSQL for Rhat 7.2, and I dont think it installed itself correctly I installed the 3.23.46 build, rpm. Well the mysqladmin directory doesnt exist. is there away to remove it and try the 4.0 build.
 
I typed in rpm -i MySql.3.24.rpm but the file structure is incorrect. and then when i got 4.0 build it said conflict with the 3.24

There is a flag for rpm to uninstall the rpm files. Find out what it is and remove the 3.24 version. Then try installing the 4.0. Or, instead o fusing rpms, switch to source. Usually much better with stuff like this.
 
I did the rpm -e command, and it comes back with the error that this rpm is not installed, but the files are there, and I if I try to reinstall the same rpm it says this is already installed

Try reinstalling it with the upgrade flag. This is why I dont use rpms 😛

You need to give rpm the package name not the rpm file name. So rpm -e MySQL will probably work. If not try 'rpm -qa | grep -i sql' and see what it's called.

This is why I dont use rpms

Well, you still would be waiting for it to compile so ;P

That just gives me time to go to the bar to get ready for hours of work setting up something like this 😉
