Now I have solved the problem I asked you to help me!
The problem was when to invoke mysql_install_db.
I invoked it before l let the daemon start, following the instruction of a textbook on MySQL.
I have found in a magazine that I shoulld have run the script after letting the mysql daemon start!
That magazine is incorrect.
mysql_install_db starts the server itself, feeds it some queries, and then shuts down the server.
I don't recall your original message, but mysql_install_db is run before you start the server for the first time.
