Can't get mysqld to run

[Karl Larsen]

   I have mysql 5 on Fedora Core 4 linux via RPM files. It does not 
run. I used the instructions from the info file and was able to populate 
the dirctory /var/lib/mysqld/ with the mysql db and some other files 
using mysql-install-db. But when I try to start mysqld with mysqld_safe 
it errors out saying it can't use the /var/run/mysald/mysqld.pid file. 
This is because there is no mysqld.pid in that directory. The directory 
has root permissions.

   What have I done wrong?
