problem with final step of install, scripts/mysql_install_db

[Hoby Van Hoose]

Hello, I'm trying to get mysql running on my LinuxPPC 1999 release machine, and I'm
getting the same error as oli@stripped wrote in about with his MKLinux attempts. I tried
wiping and re-installing as suggested, both with the glibc version 2.1.1 that was
installed and after I upgraded to 2.1.2-4a. I still get the same errors where it says it
has the wrong information in the host, user, func, tables priv and columns priv .frm
files. What's going on and how can it be fixed?

Also I got errors when trying to use the configure command appearing below, apparently not
being able to create the folders.

ps: I'm not sure if anything was sent with the mysqlbug script, emacs appeared to do
nothing with the send, save, and quit commands..so I killed it and grabbed this text from
the screen.
