Yopu're going to need all the rpms it asks for.
The easy way is to use you pkg mgr to do this for you (esp for a std option like mysql). Do not use rpms by hand if at all possible.
I recommend you remove the rpms you've already loaded to avoid problems, the use your pkg mgr via the gui or 'yum' as root.

Yep yum is easiest to me.

To List
# yum list mysql*

To Install
# yum install mysql mysql-server

Here are a couple links that may help.
