mysqld fails with permision denied (/var); runing as a user

>Description:
        mysql configures for runing in user space; makes; and installs; tests
        wor, but mysqld wont run

        
>How-To-Repeat:
I built mysql-4.1.14-nightly-20050808 from source, using
   ./configure 
'--prefix=/usr/staff/tango/jc/src/fedora/mysql-4.1.14-nightly-20050808/local' 
'--with-mysqld-user=jc'

then make
then make install
Then I initialize with  
 bin/mysql_install_db --datadir=local --user=jc

this responds with: 
You can start the MySQL daemon with:
cd /usr/staff/tango/jc/src/fedora/mysql-4.1.14-nightly-20050808/local ; 
/usr/staff/tango/jc/src/fedora/mysql-4.1.14-nightly-20050808/local/bin/mysqld_safe
 &

This command fails with the following erros:
