You can do a 'which mysql_config' that will tell you which mysql_config 
the system will use. If it returns nothing or if it returns the path to a 
mysql_config from a mysql that you do not want to use (mysql 3 for 
example) then you will need to modify your path:

export PATH=path/to/mysql_config:$PATH;

The RPM probably already took care of that for you.
