I have followed the installation instructions in your manual and the var directory is
not being created where it says it should. I found it under /var/lib/mysql.
>How-To-Repeat:
This is the history of the steps I have followed:
158 rm -r -f mysql/
159 rm -r -f mysql-3.23.41/
;; I had tryed doing the installation yesterday.
160 tar -xvf mysql-3.23.41.tar
161 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
162 cd mysql-3.23.41
163 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
164 make
165 make install

Now this is where I would find the data files had I done an RPM installation.
I find this strange because I did the same installation, from source, on tuesday on a
SUSE linux machine and had no problems at all. Or is /var/bin/mysql the place where
data files are supposed to be in a redhat linux installation?
