I think I've installed Bacula correctly (1.38.11 on Centos 4.4).

I've installed it as a user (in ~/bacula as recommended), following
the documentation closely (I'm a Linux newbie).

My configuration line was:
./configure --enable-smartalloc  --sbindir=$HOME/bacula/bin
--sysconfdir=$HOME/bacula/bin --with-pid-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin/working
--with-subsys-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin/working  --with-mysql
--with-working-dir=$HOME/bacula/working

When I issue ./startmysql I get:

cat: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid: Permission denied
rm: cannot remove `/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid': Permission denied
Fatal error: Can't remove the pid file: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
./mysqld_safe: line 333: /var/log/mysqld.log: Permission denied
Please remove it manually and start ./mysqld_safe again
mysqld daemon not started

If I log in as root then issue ./startmysql (from the user's home
directory) I get no errors. I can then enter ./bacula start, but if I
then enter ./bacula status all services (fd, sd & dir) stopped.

This all manifested itself as inability to connect to the director
(./bconsole). Not surprising if the director is not running.

I am stumped at the moment on what's not working.
