Okay, with the good help I was getting, and looking at the all clues MySQL
was giving me, like "Table 'mysql.host' doesn't exist" and "Can't find file:
'./mysql/host.frm'", I concluded that the 4.1.9 installation conflicts with
the default 4.0.18 installation. For instance, 4.0.18 expects files in
/var/mysql and /usr/libexec, but 4.1.9 wants them in /usr/local/mysql, etc.
There isn't a mysql/data directory anywhere at all for 4.0.18. The two seem
incompatible (at least, it's beyond me...).
So, I backed out my 4.1.9 installation, and was able to get things going
again under 4.0.18. I guess I'll have to wait until Apple upgrades MySQL
with OS X 10.3.8.
Thanks to all!
Alex
