No... for mysql_install_db you dont have to configure anything or make or make install... just run it... Then try starting your MySQL server with mysqld_safe &

...

[root@serverlinux scripts]# mysql_install_db Didn't find /usr/libexec/mysqld You should do a 'make install' before executing this script

i know that something going wrong during installation but when i've done ./configure obtained:

[root@serverlinux mysql-standard-5.0.18-linux-i686-glibc23]# ./configure NOTE: This is a MySQL binary distribution. It's ready to run, you don't need to configure it!

To help you a bit, I am now going to create the needed MySQL databases and start the MySQL server for you. If you run into any trouble, please consult the MySQL manual, that you can find in the Docs directory.

Installing all prepared tables Fill help tables

To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system

PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER ! To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands: ./bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' ./bin/mysqladmin -u root -h serverlinux password 'new-password' See the manual for more instructions.

NOTE: If you are upgrading from a MySQL <= 3.22.10 you should run the ./bin/mysql_fix_privilege_tables. Otherwise you will not be able to use the new GRANT command!

You can start the MySQL daemon with: cd . ; ./bin/mysqld_safe &

You can test the MySQL daemon with the benchmarks in the 'sql-bench' directory: cd sql-bench ; perl run-all-tests

Please report any problems with the ./bin/mysqlbug script!

The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at http://www.mysql.com Support MySQL by buying support/licenses at https://order.mysql.com Starting the mysqld server. You can test that it is up and running with the command: ./bin/mysqladmin version [root@serverlinux mysql-standard-5.0.18-linux-i686-glibc23]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /opt/mysql-standard-5.0.18-linux-i686-glibc23/data

and stopping in this way.... i have not make file in directory...???
