You can get more info about an error message with perror:

~: perror 13 OS error code 13: Permission denied

As you guessed, a permissions error. Apparently, the user running mysqld (usually user mysql) does not have access rights to /var/lib/mysql/. Most likely, user mysql is not set as the owner of /var/lib/mysql/, in which case you need to

chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql/

as root.

Bingo! That worked and I learned *two* things. :-) thanks tim
