MYSQL Unable to start the service
===

I just downloaded MySQL 5.0.9 source code and build and installed as root user:

    ./configure
    ./make
    ./make install

Now I am trying to bring up mysqld but the error says:

    [root libexec]# ./mysqld
    120718  7:37:09 [ERROR] Fatal error: Can't change to run as user 'mysql' ;  Please check that the user exists!
    
    120718  7:37:09 [ERROR] Aborting
    
    120718  7:37:09 [Note] ./mysqld: Shutdown complete
    
    [root libexec]#

Note that I did all my activity as a root user and am trying to start the service for the very first time itself?
