mysql error

[mandreko]

I just tried compiling mysql 3.23.32 from source. (rpms don't seem to work for me) and i do these commands:

tar -xzvf mysql-3.23.32.tar.gz
cd mysql-3.23.32
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql
make
make install


now when i try to start it using "./safe_mysql" i get this error in my error log ( /usr/local/mysql/var/www.mandreko.com.err ):



010210 08:05:04 mysqld started
010210 8:05:04 /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld: Table 'mysql.host' doesn't exist
010210 8:05:04 /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld: Normal shutdown

010210 8:05:04 /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown Complete

010210 08:05:04 mysqld ended

how do i fix it?

Could be an incorrect answer, but did you do the "mysql_install_db" yet?

Just throwing an idea your way. HTH
