If you downloaded the source tar and built Mysql doing a make/make
install then you won't have a database.
To create the baseline databases you need to run mysql_install_db which
creates the mysql and test databases under the var directory. Its also
worth copying one of the .cnf files from <prefix>/share/mysql as my.cnf
into the var directory.
Depending exactly on your setup you should end up with
<prefix>/bin
/include
/info
/share
/lib
/libexec
/man
/mysql-test
/var/mysql
/test
