True. I forgot to mention, when doing the normal install from the tar, the files/databases for mysql and test both refused to create, although I see no error message indicating that. I believe that the root issue has something to do with the permissions during the make install.

If you're starting the process as a non-system user then the var directory and anything under it should be owned/writable by that user. If you're starting it as root then the var directory should be owned/writable by mysql:daemon. If you don't have the Mysql user setup then the mysqld daemon won't run.
