OK
Now open the terminal and type:
cd /usr/local/mysql/
./scripts/mysql_install_db
and restart mysql.

Don't assume. Mysql keeps its data, including ibdata1, in the
data directory.
In your case, that's the default location, /usr/local/mysql/data/. The
server, mysqld, runs as user mysql (by default), so the mysql user must have
access to the data directory. You run the installer as root,
however, so your
data directory is probably owned by root, not mysql. You need to fix that.
Do this:
Open Terminal
In Terminal, enter
> cd /usr/local/mysql/
sudo chown -R mysql:mysql data
That will change ownership of the data directory and its contents
to the mysql
user, which should enable mysqld to start. You can start mysqld from the
command line in terminal like this:
cd /usr/local/mysql/
sudo -v
sudo bin/mysqld_safe &
or you can use the preferences pane if you installed it.
If mysqld still fails to start, post the contents of
/usr/local/mysql/hostname.err ("hostname" will be your Mac's name) in your
next message.
