Description:
mysql.server script from mysq-5.0.3-beta distribution doesnt work as it contains non-translated template:

if test -z "$basedir"
then
  basedir=/usr/local/mysql
  bindir=./bin
  datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data
  sbindir=@sbindir@
else
  bindir="$basedir/bin"
  sbindir="$basedir/sbin"
fi

this @sbindir@ results  in nonworking script

How to repeat:
dowload binary distribution, install it and try to start the server with mysql.server

Suggested fix:
To find out why template substitution failed
