SEND-PR: From: claudia To: mys@lists.mysql.com Subject: [50 character or so descriptive subject here (for reference)] compiling on redhat does not build var directory.

Description:

I am trying to build mysql from source files on a redhat machine. The latest
version of everyting has been installed. The compilation and installation
proceses finish cleanly but the data directory is not created. I have run the
same process on Suse linux just yesterday without any problem. <precise description of the problem (multiple lines)>

How-To-Repeat:
