Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking
support questions. Your problem is not the result of a bug.

Thank you for your interest in MySQL.

This is not a bug, but rather a configuration error - you probably forgot to
run mysql_install_db. See http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Installing.html and the Red Hat documentation for information on how to install MySQL.
