In this case it didn't install in these directories or anywhere else according to locate and manual inspection. In any case should'nt ' rpm -i /home/myhome/bin/MySQL-5.0.16-0.src.rpm' have built and installed the rpm with dependencies?
No. That's not the way src.rpm works. You have the source files in /usr/src/packages/SOURCES and the spec file in /usr/src/packages/SPECS. If manual inspection didn't show this, then you didn't do it right, because that is where they will be after you install a src.rpm And how could it possibly build dependencies? It is sort of against the idea of dependencies. If they were included, they wouldn't be dependencies To rebuild the source rpm, you would use "rpmbuild --rebuild" on the src.rpm But why not use the binary rpm available for download from mysql.com?
