Carrie:

The problem is that either my_install_db is missing from your
installation, or you are just typing the wrong path to it. If you have
it anywhere on your disk, here is how you can find it:

find / -name mysql_install_db -print

Depending on how much you have on your root filesystem, this may take a
while, but will eventually find mysql_install_db if it is hiding
somewhere. Then you can execute it with:

/path/you/have/found/mysql_install_db

If you get Permission denied error

chmod +x /path/you/have/found/mysql_install_db
