I had a similar experience right down to the error message you are getting. Based on
that experience, I am inclined to recommend the following:
1) Abandon your current installation which I perceive that your are attempting from a
MySQL tarball.
2) Download the webmin-1.030 tarball and execute ./setup.sh after exploding the
tarball with tar -xzvf webmin-1.030.tar.gz .
3) Download the RPMs for MySQL instead of the tarball you are now using.
4) Use webmin to install the RPMs.
This was much easier for me. GL

I'm still getting the error 'Can't find hosts.frm' when I try to laund the
mysql daemon.
I've run the mysql_install_db script several times.
I've changed the user and group ownership for all the files in the
/usr/libexec/mysql directory, and also in /var/lib/mysql to 'mysql' (it was
'root').
(RPM installed it originally in /var/lib/mysql, I copied it to
/usr/libexec/mysql just in case that's where is was looking. That's where th
mysqld was, and the error said can't find ./hosts.frm.)
Any ideas?
