I am a MySQL newbie with a post installation problem. I have Linux Red
Hat 9 with MySQL 4.0. After installing MySQL, I can not for the life of
me get the mysql daemon to run. My installation directory is
/usr/local/mysql but it wants to open a database from /var/lib/mysql.
Obviously something is not set right. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Oh, and I can not find ANY log files anywhere (/var/lib or
/usr/local/mysql/data).
Here are some messages:
[root@localhost mysql]# pwd
