Hi Kris, all,
what you describe here seems to be related to MySQL bug# 50336 http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=50336 : Kris wrote: > [[...]] > > I am trying to compile mysql and install it in a non-standard directory. > I do notwant mysql installed in /usr or /usr/local.

But I doubt this is really the problem, because in that case many more users would suffer from it, internal tests included. Are you really sure that this option does not show up in your "my.cnf", or any other config file read by the server? It was still used and supported in 5.0, so any remnant 5.0 config file read by your 5.1 server might cause this problem.
