Help! Installing MySQL via SSH, getting stuck...

I'm trying to install MySQL via SSH, following the forum instructions at:

http://forum.webfaction.com/viewtopic.php?id=1781

but I'm getting stuck. If anybody could help me out, that would be great - I have a feeling it's something simple that I'm not doing right.

When I get to the part:

1	./configure --prefix=$HOME/mysql

I get the following error:

1	-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

I wasn't 100% sure on which version of MySQL to download with wget - if anybody could confirm this, that'd be a great help. The one I downloaded is ysql-5.5.8-linux2.6-ia64.tar.gz - is this the right one for Webfaction?

Any ideas/help most welcome!

That error means you're probably in the wrong directory. Which directory are you running that command from?

Thanks so much for the quick response.

Before doing that command I did:

cd mysql-5.5.8-linux2.6-ia64

so I should be running the command from the directory that MySQL extracted to
