On the other hand, I just looked, and it looks like it's smart enough to figure out if you've moved the installation directory. Try cd-ing to the place where your new version is and type ./bin/mysqld_safe.
That may not work, because another copy of mysql may already be running somewhere.
Something else to check: make sure mysqld is executable by doing a ls -l on the directory it's in.
We're far past my knowledge at this point (actually, we were at the limit of my knowledge when I told you to try cd-ing and re-typing the command) and I'm just throwing out possibilities...

Todd,
It didn't help. Here is the message:
----------------
$ cd /usr/local/mysql
$ ./bin/mysqld_safe
The file /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld doesn't exist or is not executable
Please do a cd to the mysql installation directory and restart
this script from there as follows:
./bin/mysqld_safe.

---------------------------
It worked fine until yesterday. SA told me he had rebuilt /user/local
directory
this morning. All the files are still there after the build. Actually I have
two versions of mysql. I would like to start mysqld using different version
of
mysql that I installed in a different location. I wonder where the path
'/usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld' stored in the system. Can we change this
path
somewhere in the parameter file?
Thanks, song

Do what it says:
cd /usr/local/mysql ./bin/mysqld_safe
and see if that's any better.
