The file /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld doesn't exist or is not executable
Does it exist? Is it executable? Is it owned my mysql?
Does mysql own /usr/local/mysql and all its subdirectories and files?
Another line says
./mysqld: Can't change dir to
'/usr/local/mysql-3.23.52-pc-linux-gnu-i686/var/'
(Errcode: 2)
Error 2 means that the directory doesn't exist.
Does it? Does mysql own it and all its subdirectories and files?
Why is one directory "/usr/local/mysql" and the other "/usr/local/mysql-3.23.52-pc-linux-gnu-i686" ?
It looks to me like the log is telling you everything you need to know to find the problem.

I recently installed MySQL-3.23.52 and ranthrough the config and
installation without any trouble. The server was running just fine.
Today I performed a reboot of the system and the server will not start up
again. I also tried to start the server by hand and these are the error
messages I'm receiving:
from /usr/local/mysql/bin...

Please do a cd to the mysql installation directory and restart
this script from there as follows:
./bin/safe_mysqld.
[ed@home bin]$ ./mysqld

Can anyone gather from this info why it's not starting and what I need to
do to make it work again. The main installation directory is
/usr/local/mysql-3.23.52-pc-linux-gnu-i686 and /usr/local/mysql is a link.
Like I said before the server started just fine after initial
installation.
TIA,
Ed Curtis
