[SLUG] MySQL - how do you fire this thing up?

I've just loaded mysql like so:

rpm -ivh /home/jmc/MySQL/mysql-3.23.49-3.i386.rpm

Then:

rpm -q mysql

Gives:

mysql-3.23.49-3

But Now:

I can't find any daemon (mysqld) to execute. I did a find for mysqld on
entire drive and got nothing. Then I did a find for mysql on entire
drive and got:

/usr/lib/mysql
/usr/share/mysql
/usr/bin/mysql

If I issue command: mysql

I get: Can't connect to local mysql server through socket
"/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock"

Any suggestions?

Thanks
