Richard --
Did you set the --prefix=/usr/local/mysql when you ran config? If not
Your bin are located in /usr/local/bin maybe /usr/local/sbin?
The start script is saying the either the programs not ther or you
have a permissions problem?
Did you create user and group mysql,
Install as above to /usr/local/mysql, and chown -R mysql:mysql mysql dir.
Finally (for now) ls -l mysqld what are perms, run mysqld as stand alone.
Hope this helps,
David
