symbolic link

[ceimon]

When I create a symbolic link like:

ln -s /fick/software/mysql-standard-4.0.14-dec-osf5.1-alphaev67 /usr/local/mysql

it creates a file inside the '/usr/local/mysql/' directory named mysql-standard-4.0.14-dec-osf5.1-alphaev67 and thats it. What am I doing wrong. How do I access my files through '/usr/local/mysql/'
