Hi, has this problem been reported and fixed in 5.1 documentation also? I've got the same problem with 5.1 on OSX, and it's causing me some grief. I tried running mysql_install_db under sudo, and even though that runs mysql still won't run and I can't access the data directory - for whatever reason the mysql directory is owned by root, but the data directory that was created is owned by _mysql, and I can't get access to that directory?!? Weird... Help welcome!
