OUCH... Why do that when mysql.com already provides a compat package?

Nothing to rebuild. Just do what Paul stated earlier. Download the
compat RPM from mysql.com:
http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-4.1/MySQL-shared-compat-4.1.9-0.i386.rpm/from/pick

Install that one first, so that the libmysqlclient.so.10 files are there.
Then you remove your old mysql stuff with "rpm -e" and install the new
packages (also downloaded from mysql.com) with "rpm -i".

If you try to do "rpm -U" to upgrade, it probably won't completely
work because the package names are different between the 3.23.xx
version that came with Fedora and the new versions from mysql.com.
