	There is no need to be superuser to run find. But there can be problems
if there is another find command earlier in the PATH, than the  
standard unix find utility.
Try running :
/usr/bin/find / -name 'mysqld'  2>/dev/null

This will show if you have multiple instances of the mysqld server  
daemon on your system.
the syntax 2>/dev/null
redirects standard error to /dev/null,
skipping error messages about unaccessible directories
