Did u install MySQL server? Did you follow all the installation steps? # ./configure # make # make install

Anyway, mysqld is the server deamon... if this file is missing, then I can only think that your MySQL server was not installed properly or not installed at all...

so, why i have this error:

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

and

[root@serverlinux scripts]# ser_mysql.sh create MySql password for root: creating database ser ... ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

i've seen on web tutorial that default password is heslo, is that correct? i've tried also with other password but i have always the same response...

why it miss mysql.sock?
