I'm a sysadmin who created mysql installs for users on linux x86 boxen;  I
had to create self-contained, architecture-specific packages to comply
with our in-house means of handling software in my department.  That took
three weeks to fine-tune and distribute and mysql seemed to run out of the
box, after some tuning on my build-host.

Everything LOOKED good...until the user who called and said, "did you
change my password?"  uh, no.  "Why can't I get on Mysql, then?" uh, did
you do a ps -ef? "nothing happens.

well, the host.some.domain.err says the following:

010619 16:39:30  mysqld started
010619 16:39:30  /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file:
'./mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13)
010619 16:39:30  mysqld ended

        searches on dejanews.com (or 'googlegroups, as they are known)
revealed someone had run into this and had been advised to run the
installdb script;  I did that again, but now it doesn't do me much good,
so I try linking over /usr.../mysql/var/mysql to /usr/../,ysql/libexec,
but to no visible change in behavior, judging by stdout and the *.err log.

What painfully simple, stupid thing am I missing?
