I think I have solved this - though what I had to do was weird.
In mysql-VERSION/support-files there's a program called comp_err.
You need to cd to the share/language directory and run
# comp_err errmsg.txt errmsg.sys
Then run scripts/mysql_install_db.
Why should I have to do this? Sounds
Sorry, user mysql and group mysql already exist, and permissions were
already set correctly. It didn't work.
Any more ideas?
Thanks again.
