I was in the same trouble with mysql 4.0.3 for HP-UX and had no success installing it into non default directory. I tried to compile source next but that failed misserably and I didnt get any help here either so I downgraded to 3.23.xx. Compilation went fine when I turned off InnoDB. The gig is that when compiling from source there is a --prefix=/path/to/installation_dir option to configure script. I guess you allready got that this makes mysql installation script put all the stuff in the directory you specify. In this way I have my mysql installed in /var/tmp/vsurlan and on mercy of the admin :)).
