me too, pls help! (installing mysql-5.0.45-solaris10-i386 on Solaris 10 AMD64)
/usr/sbin/mysqlmanager <symbolic link>
/usr/sbin/safe_mysqld <symbolic link>
[ verifying class <none> ]
## Executing postinstall script.
ERROR: 1004 Can't create file '/var/tmp//installxyaOYn/#sql1baf_1_0.frm' (errno: 13)

071009 10:08:19 [Note] /opt/mysql/mysql/bin/mysqld: Shutdown complete
Installation of system tables failed!
Examine the logs in /var/lib/mysql for more information.
You can try to start the mysqld daemon with:
/opt/mysql/mysql/bin/mysqld --skip-grant &
and use the command line tool
/opt/mysql/mysql/bin/mysql to connect to the mysql
database and look at the grant tables:
shell> /opt/mysql/mysql/bin/mysql -u root mysql
mysql> show tables
Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log
gives you a log in /var/lib/mysql that may be helpful.
