Can't find file: './mysql/host.frm' (errno: 13)

[Pushpinder Singh Garcha]

Hello All,

 I am installing MySQL on my Mac OS Jaguar system. I was having some  
trouble with the starting up my MySQL Server. I kpt getting "mysqld  
ended" error and my logs showed that file "user.MYI" was corrupted. So  
I decided to uninstall MySQl and re-install it.

I installed MySQL (mysql-standard-4.0.13-apple-darwin6.4-powerpc) ...  
but now I get this error in the log file and I am unable to still start  
the MySQL Server.
