Just try rpm -e `rpm -qa | grep mysql` (make sure to use back ticks
(usually under the Esc key) to uninstall all MySQL packages. Then clear
out /var/lib/mysql and remove /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysql* (just in case some
are left). Then find some packages which have worked before and install
those. Good luck.
