Have a look in the /etc/sysconfig/mysql file and in particular .rpmnew
variants.
Of particular interest are the lines:
# (oe) set TMPDIR and TMP environment variables
TMPDIR="/var/tmp"
TMP="${TMPDIR}"
These variables ensure things work form the init scripts etc. but wont
cover running them manually. If you set these vars yourself and export
them, things will work as expected.
