Please use sentences and proper English.

We need to know exactly what distribution+version you are running,& which version of MySQL.
Please try these cmds as root user and post the results

Code:

cat /etc/*release*

rpm -qa|grep -i mysql

We also need details ie exactly what do you want to do, exactly what cmd you tried and what msgs you got.
Please copy and paste the cmds/msgs; do not try to describe or summarise them instead.
Incidentally, here is the MySQL site with full docs with examples https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/
