Description:
Get a fresh tree.

$ ./configure ... --prefix=abc
$ gmake
$ gmake install

Remove "abc" from disk.

$ ./configure ... --prefix=def
$ gmake
$ gmake install

Now join "def" and try ./bin/mysql_install_db

it will fail because it will search in "abc" instead of "def".

How to repeat:
See above

Suggested fix:
Check at mysql_install_db if it's values are old.

Obsolete MySQL version, and mysql_install_db is riding off into the sunset. Thus closing.
