I really appreciate all the help! I tried running ./scripts/mysql_install_db and this is what I got:

G5-Computer:/usr/local/mysql martyray$ ./scripts/mysql_install_db
mkdir: ./data/mysql: Permission denied
chmod: ./data/mysql: Permission denied
mkdir: ./data/test: Permission denied
chmod: ./data/test: Permission denied
Installing all prepared tables
./bin/mysqld: Can't change dir to '/usr/local/mysql-standard-4.1.1-alpha-apple-darwin6.8-powerpc/data/' (Errcode: 13)
040212 17:44:13 Aborting


040212 17:44:13 ./bin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete

./scripts/mysql_install_db: line 274: 397 Broken pipe cat $fill_help_tables
Installation of grant tables failed!


I'm sure all this is boring and routine for all of you, but unix is still mostly Greek to me, although I am learning!

Thanks Again,

Marty Ray

You have to re-run the ./scripts/mysql_install_db

I had this exact error and it comes from deleting (or not installing) the
'mysql' database, which is a required component for MySQL to run. It also
installs a db called 'test' which is not required.
