Your data directory should contain mysql database prepared with

mysql_install_db script. See:



  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/unix-post-installation.html

In your case - no.

You should read:



  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/upgrading-from-4-0.html



But I suggest you to remove all mysql instances from you box and perform

a clean install of 4.1.12 using official binaries.
