I'm attempting to install Mysql 5.0 on an HP-UX ia64 server. I installed the depot and ran the mysql_install_db script and chown'd as described in the documentation. when i attempt to run: bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql --datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data & i get an error that [ERROR] Fatal error: Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.host' doesn't exist.

i checked : /usr/local/mysql/data/mysql and there are no files in this dir. is the depot install process suppose to create files in this dir, is the mysql_install_db scripts suppose to?, or am i missing a step?
