Unable to rebuild mysql 4.0.16 source rpm

[Daniele Paoni]

I tried to compile the latest mysql source rpm (4.0.16) from mysql.com
on fedora. 
The compilation is ok , but when I try to install the compiled
MySQL-client rpm the system exits with:

 perl(the) is needed by MySQL-client-4.0.16-0

Does someone have an idea? 
Thanks
