well the problem was olved when i used the follwoing command
scripts/mysql_install_db --user=root
bin/mysqld_safe --user=root

Gues by default it was not creating the mysql user. Now on prompt mysql is
running fine...

But...

As I am trying to port my MySQL code on HP-UX, and am unable to link my code
as I am getting the standard functions like mysql_query(),
mysql_store_result() etc as undefined. I am currently linking my code with
libmysqlclient_r.a. Do I need any other library to be linked as well??????
Note  that the same code runs perfectlty fine on Linux

Did you do that? Is there a user called "mysql"?
