Newbie admin - help with mysql

How do I tell gentoo that I don't want - under any
circumstances - 
emerge to automatically install mysql?
I am using binaries and sources straight from mysql.com.

I used -mysql in my USE in /etc/make.conf but it doesn't
work

If I try to emerge -p world it tells me that it will install
mysql 4.1.x

Any suggestions?

You could try something like:

echo "dev-db/mysql-4" >>
/etc/portage/profile/package.provided
