I'm trying to install MySQL 3.23 on a RedHat Linux Version 8.0 box using RPMs. The install seems to go well, but the log file contains:

mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm'

From the docs, I understand this happens because I haven't set up the grant tables, but how can I do that if I can't start the database? Seems like a Catch-22 situation!

When I try to start MySql manually, using safe_mysqld, I get the same error in the error log. I'm sure I'm missing something simple, but I've been banging my head against this for awhile and can't figure it out. Any help much appreciated.
