Dana,
Thanks for looking into this further. I did all that, and ran the
command mysql_install_db instead of mysql_install_db --user=mysql & as they
said in the install guide! I have no clue of the difference between the two
and reason why it should work on one and not on another.
Would appreciate if you could shed some light on this.
Thanks,
Sheena.

This is covered in the mysql manual here:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/P/o/Post-installation.html
First, you need to install the default databases ( installs
mysql/host.frm ):
bash> mysql_install_db
Then tell mysql not to use InnoDB:
put this in your /etc/my.cnf file:
....
[mysqld]
skip-innodb
....
dpk
