Michael, here are some snippets from the error log that look relevant, from three times I tried to start:

050719 20:29:41  mysqld started
050719 20:29:46 [Warning] Setting lower_case_table_names=2 because file system for /usr/local/mysql/data/ is case insensitive 050719 20:29:58 InnoDB: Operating system error number 13 in a file operation.

InnoDB: File name ./ibdata1
InnoDB: File operation call: 'create'.
InnoDB: Cannot continue operation.

This time, you got a permission denied error, but I expect you fixed that problem, because it doesn't show up in the next 2 attempts.

This time, mysql can't find your privilege tables. Usually, this means you haven't run mysql_install_db (probably in /usr/local/mysql/bin). Did you follow the post-installation instructions <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/post-installation.html>?

This is the same problem as the second one, above.

Thank you.
