>Description:
./configure --help
claims that the default value of localstatedir is PREFIX/var, but
after setting --prefix it appears to be still pointing to '/var'.
>How-To-Repeat:
./configure --prefix=/opt/mysql-3.23.44
make
make install
./scripts/mysql_install_db
mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/lib/mysql/mysql': Permission denied
chmod: getting attributes of `/var/lib/mysql/mysql': No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory `/var/lib/mysql/test': Permission denied
chmod: getting attributes of `/var/lib/mysql/test': No such file or directory
[etc]
>Fix:
additionally set --localstatedir on the configure line, I guess.
