Your mysqld doesn't know where your files are (though, that was probably
obvious ;). Try setting the -h (--datadir) flag to force to that location
and see if that works. If that doesn't you have a permissions issue I
would presume. As for the log, check the path I suppose in /etc/my.cnf
and verify that it is correct - else, again it could be a permissions
issue.
Personally though, I would install the binary distro on linux. I believe,
(correct me if I'm wrong others), it at least use to be noticably faster
than trying to compile it yourself absent given you couldn't match Monty's
compiler configurations) - not to mention it's a whole lot less of a pain
to manage then the source distro. Just untar and go.
