Okay, given that thinking, I decided to put 3.23 on instead of 4, but got errors. Finally I decided to wipe every trace of 3.23 off, and install 4. That did better (although I had a circular reference when trying to wipe 3.23, but got around it by telling it not to check dependencies). Finally, 3.23 is gone.
Installing 4 client goes okay.
Installing 4 server does not (!!):

This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose
the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong
and this may fail.
key_buffer_size=8388600
read_buffer_size=131072
max_used_connections=0
max_connections=100
threads_connected=1
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_connections = 225791 K
bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

Attempting backtrace. You can use the following information to find out
where mysqld died. If you see no messages after this, something went
terribly wrong...
Cannot determine thread, fp=0xbff5ed18, backtrace may not be correct.
Stack range sanity check OK, backtrace follows:
0x808df77
0x82e8af8
0x85d8760
0x80b3fe1
0x80a2c14
0x809c69e
0x82e62ac
0x830fc3a
New value of fp=(nil) failed sanity check, terminating stack trace!
Please read
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Us...ack_trace.html and follow instructions on how to resolve the stack trace. Resolved
stack trace is much more helpful in diagnosing the problem, so please do
resolve it

Installation of system tables failed!
Examine the logs in /var/lib/mysql for more information.
You can also try to start the mysqld daemon with:
/usr/sbin/mysqld --skip-grant &
You can use the command line tool
/usr/bin/mysql to connect to the mysql
database and look at the grant tables:
shell> /usr/bin/mysql -u root mysql
mysql> show tables
Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log
gives you a log in /var/lib/mysql that may be helpful.
The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at
http://www.mysql.com
Please consult the MySQL manual section: 'Problems running mysql_install_db',
and the manual section that describes problems on your OS.
Another information source is the MySQL email archive.
Please check all of the above before mailing us!
And if you do mail us, you MUST use the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!
