Usually you can find a program under a subdirectory     bin   System programs are under  usr bin or  bin  To check where files of mysql package are placed  on RHEL 6 type like this       rpm -ql mysql   which is the main part of the package    and the result is a list of  exe  files such as  mysqladmin  tool  About to know the version of the server  run the command      mysqladmin -u  valid-user  version

If you re looking for the RPM   rpm -qa   grep MySQL   Most of it s data is stored in  var lib mysql so that s another good place to look   If it is installed  which mysql   will give you the location of the binary   You could also do an  updatedb   and a   locate mysql   to find any mysql files
