I believe that your problem is specifically with RedHat. I've ran it on just about every incarnation of Linux from Mandrake to Gentoo. The only one that I have ever had a problem getting MySQL to run on was RedHat 7.x and I've even run it on things like OpenMosix (www.openmosix.org) and Scyld. Tried RedHat versions from 7.0 to 7.3, none of them will run, install any other distro, it works from the start. Don't matter whether it's MySQL 3.x or 4.x, it won't work for me or anyone else I know with RedHat.
Hope that helps you with your problem.
