This may be an obvious one, Walt, but did you run the mysql_install_db script as part of your installation? This script creates the basic tables MySQL needs. It's in .../scripts/mysql_install_db You also need to edit the my.cnf file. See section "2.3.1 Quick Installation Overview" in the manual. If you've done all this stuff, then you may want to check for proper pathnames and permissions.
