Well, it didn't. But, shouldn't it have been set that way after the rpm
package was installed?
Now, it says:
Fatal error: Can't open privilege tables: Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm'
(errno: 13)
030326 16:39:58 Aborting
datadir is set to /var/lib/mysql which is a symbolic link to /u1/mysql.
For what it's worth, I've been having a lot of problems with mysql. I had
mysql 3.23 installed, and was testing a message board ("phpBB2") for use with
mysql. When I went to make the board "production", I used mysqladmin to drop
the database I had been using for testing, and then to create a new database
(different name) for production. When I tried to run the phpBB2 installer
against the new database, it failed. I couldn't figure out what happened;
following the same installation instructions, I was getting weird error after
weird error. So, I figured I would start from scratch. I figured as long as
I was doing that, I would start with mysql 4... and have been having problem,
after problem, after problem. I worked for over a week from the sources and
got nowhere and then I saw that this release finally hit "production" and am
starting all over again... and here I am unable to run mysql...

To a touch typist, having the space bar workonly 30% of the

make this message make sense.
