Hi Chris, I suppose that gumby , is your machine name . It seems from the messages that /usr/local/var does not permits mysql daemon to create file. you can chnage mode to 777 to the directory,
and for host.frm , you have to run /usr/local/mysql/scripts/mysql_install_db which will create mysql database which has all these tables.
