Subject:MySQL with InnoDb Tables - A Big Confusion

Sorry, I know this question would best suit for mys@lists.mysql.com but there is over limit problem. " E-mail Account: lists-mysql is over the limit of 31457280 bytes."

I am running a Mandrake Linux 8.1, with an rpm installed ver 3.23.41. Unfortunately configuring the MySQL for InnoDb for me turned into an intriguing problem. I installed the MySQL-Max 3.23.41 version. And tried to follow instructions but mysql would start if i create an my.cnf (by default this file is missing from installation)

[mysqld] innodb_data_home_dir = innodb_data_file_path = /innodb-data/

But on starting the deamon it wouldn't start. Perplexed and trying to trouble shoot where the problem i remarked the entries and mysqld ran. But 'show variables like "have_%"' displayed BDB=YES and InnoDB=DISABLED.

How to turn around this problem?

Waiting for suggestions.
