mySQL hates me

Alright, I was going through the mySQL documentation for system variables. In it were "have_compress" and "have_symlink".

Like all other forms of variables, such as key_buffer, it says "key_buffer = ____". So, I try running "have_compress = ____" and mySQL can't start. In the mysql --help list is "use --compress to enable compression". So, I type --compress with the process, and it can't start.

How exactly can I get mySQL to follow symbolic links and use compression? Thanks.
