>Description:

Setting basedir=/var/lib/mysql produces the error message:
        /usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't change dir to '/var/lib/mysql/var/' (Errcode: 2)
        with datadir not set to anything

Setting datadir=/var/lib/mysql produces the error message:
        011001 13:32:27  /usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' 
(errno: 13)
        with basedir not set to anything

Setting both datadir and basedir=/var/lib/mysql produces the error message:
011001 13:33:57  /usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13)

>How-To-Repeat:
        Problem can easily be repeated using above steps.

>Fix:
        Have found no work arounds.  Tried linking /var/lib/mysql/var to 
        /var/lib/mysql, but that did not work.
