what have you done the whole time?
have you tried RTFM?

we are not here to guide a blind one trough a basic setup
because at the end you have something running and understodd
nothing!

sounds like you never before had used mysql and missing
all the basics from the first chapters in the well written documentation

you should read the manuals or use a operating system with packages
which are idiot-proof, fedora does this for you:

if [ ! -d "$datadir/mysql" ] ; then
 # First, make sure $datadir is there with correct permissions
 if [ ! -e "$datadir" -a ! -h "$datadir" ]
 then
  mkdir -p "$datadir" || exit 1
 fi
 chown mysql:mysql "$datadir"
 chmod 0755 "$datadir"
 [ -x /sbin/restorecon ] && /sbin/restorecon "$datadir"
 # Now create the database
 action $"Initializing MySQL database: " /usr/bin/mysql_install_db 
--datadir="$datadir" --user=mysql
 ret=$?
 chown -R mysql:mysql "$datadir"
 if [ $ret -ne 0 ] ; then
  return $ret
 fi
fi

they CAN NOT BE FOUND if you have a fresh install and not used 
"mysql_install_db"
and WHERE they are created depends on your configuration as said yesterday

let me guess: you even have not spent any second for your my.cnf?

on my system typing mysql_ followed with 2 x TAB brings a list of commands
since you think you must not use a environments package-system why
in the world do you not look in your bin-folder at /usr/local/mysql/
and read some docs to understand that the mysql-database is the userdb

[root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ mysql_
mysql_client_test           mysql_convert_table_format  mysql_fix_extensions    
    mysql_secure_installation
mysql_tzinfo_to_sql         mysql_upgrade_replication   mysql_zap
mysql_config                mysql_find_rows             mysql_install_db        
    mysql_setpermission
mysql_upgrade               mysql_waitpid
