这是错误信息，想帮忙看看。怎么解决?谢谢了！　　　　　　

我的是redhat3.0企业版,装的时候也是这个错误,请老鸟帮忙解答下,谢谢　　　　　　

你下载的源代码么？在它源代码网站上有安装和编译方法的，你去看一下就可以的。　　　　　　

应该是权限问题，把mysql的安装目录应用：
chown -R mysql:mysql $mysql_home
chmod 755 $mysql_home

我想那样就可以OK了！！！！　　　　　　

have you had a look in var to see what's there?

have you checked the permissions using ls -al?

your chowning and chgrping should have a -R switch (recursive) and come *after* you've run mysql_install_db, i believe.

for completeness, here's my full mysql install:

groupadd mysql
useradd -g mysql mysql

tar xzvf mysql-xxx.tar.gz
cd mysql-xxx
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
make
make install
scripts/mysql_install_db

chown -R root /usr/local/mysql
chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql/var
chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql

cd /usr/local/mysql/bin
./safe-mysqld --user=mysql &

good luck!　　　　　　

子细阅读README吧。5.0测试版装4.0好一些啊。
