You don't need to compile stuff from source if all you is a LAMP setup.
Just go under 'system-config-packages' and choose the stuff you want to install

The point is that i have one desktop and one laptop

I had install on LAMP on my desktop according to those instructions, and it works well.

the point now i want to install LAMP on my laptop

usually i write for me all the steps that i do.
i also faced it with when i installed it on my desktop
but i forgot to log it on my notbook

do you know how should i solve it.
because even if i try to follow on the
./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/mysql \
--localstatedir=/usr/local/mysql/data \
--disable-maintainer-mode \
--with-mysqld-user=mysql \
--with-unix-socket-path=/tmp/mysql.sock \
--without-comment \
--without-debug \
--without-bench

it says that mysqld ended

Yes, it's better to install from distribution-provided packages if you want to use the software. Building for source is for those who want to develop the MySQL software.
