我在安装mysql 是建立var库的时候遇到这个问题
tar 我解在/root里面
.......
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
.......
[root@eye bin]# ./mysql_install_db
Installing all prepared tables
031003 22:04:31 /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown Complete
To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server
to the right place for your system
