Make sure the permissions on the file are set to executable. Assuming your
platform is some *nix variant, login as root or owner. Change to the
directory where your mysqld is located (/usr/local/mysql/libexec) and
execute the following command:
chmod 755 *
This will ensure the binaries and scripts are executable.
I hope this helps.
