Maybe, you haven't removed the older mysql that comes with fedora?
Let's clean your system. Save your data in a safe place, we will later remove
the MySQL data directory.
Issue
rpm -qa | grep -i mysql
And see what are the packages with mysql in it. Remove everything that has
relation to MySQL itself (but of course, not packages like postfix-sasl-mysql
or mod_php_mysql, etc). Ignore dependencies.
After that, clean your system: remove /var/lib/mysql and delete the mysql user:
userdel mysql
Again, don't forget to save your data!
Then do a fresh install of MySQL.com's downloaded packages. Install it like
that:
rpm --install -v -h MySQL*4.1.4*rpm
That should help.
