It seems that Redhat isn't the only os with this problem. I've got exactly the same error with Mandriva 2007.

Like several others, I'm a complete novice when it comes to linux and am just trying to come to terms with it.

What is somewhat frustating is the fact that I can install and run the Windows version quite happily.

Again, like some other folks, I've tried the start mysql stuff and all I get is that it has started and immediatly stopped again.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem. From memory I had the same problem with previous versions of MYSql with previous versions of Mandriva (Mandrake)
