>Description:
   Can't run the mysql deamon at all. When I try running safe_mysqld (with root 
permission) i get the following message

Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
010828 15:18:22  mysqld ended

When I attempt this as not the root user, I get permission problems.

The /var/log/mysql.log has the following line added:

010828 15:18:22  mysqld started
010828 15:18:22  /usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13)
010828 15:18:22  mysqld ended

I am using Redhat linux. I freshly installed it (I've installed *nothing* else). I got 
the same problem when I initialized the partition, and installed debian, and installed 
mysql from the source code. 

I have tried different versions and distributions of Linux. Different kernals. 
Different mysqls. There is no HOWTO page with this error -- how does anybody else get 
the thing to go?

>How-To-Repeat:
        Install RedHat 7.1, with MySQL installed. Type:
                su root
                'password'
                mysql_install_db
                safe_mysqld &

If you think it has something to do with RedHat... Initialize the hardisk. Install 
Debian (potato), with mysql
        Get the mysql tar.gz file and type (as root):
        gunzip mysql.tar.gz
        tar xf mysql.tar
        cd into the directory
        ./configure --prefix=/path/to/installation
        make
        make install
        locate mysql_install_db and run ./mysql_install_db
        safe_mysqld

and... SAME PROBLEM!!!
