mysql Install Problems

I've been having a very rough time installinig mySQL on Linux. I have
been following the instructions form here:
http://www.hostlibrary.com/installing_apache_mysql_php_on_li nux
Everytime I get to #./configure it goes through all of the preparing
tables and starting mysqlServer and daemon, but than immediaetly says
"mysql ended" -- I try to do #make right after anyway, but I get the
error "No targets specified and no makefile found" -- Any suggestions
would be appreicted. Thanks!

Default options are read from the following files in the given order:

The following options may be given as the first argument:
--print-defaults Print the program argument list and exit
--no-defaults Don't read default options from any options file
--defaults-file=# Only read default options from the given file #
--defaults-extra-file=# Read this file after the global files are read

To see what values a running MySQL server is using, type
'mysqladmin variables' instead of 'mysqld --help'.
The default values (after parsing the command line arguments) are:

basedir: /usr/local/mysql/
datadir: /usr/local/mysql/var/
tmpdir: /tmp/
language: /usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/english/
pid file: /usr/local/mysql/var/member1.pid
binary log:
binary log index:
TCP port: 3306
Unix socket: /tmp/mysql.sock
