Karthik,

You should example MySQL's options for execution

"mysqld --help --verbose" and use the proper options for your setups.

For a better situation, I would suggest that if you are averse to 
installing MySQL system-wide,to at least install MySQL locally using  
"./configure --prefix=/home/karthik/mysql_testdir" (chose a name of your 
laking) and run it from there.
