Michael:

You are right. I am installing MySQL Client ONLY & do not find
mysql_install_db is nowhere found. Now I realize that for a client
installation, mysql_install_db is not installed.

You have been very kind in responding and helping me with this problem. I
need further assistance in setting up a MySQL Client machine. What other
steps I need to finish the installation? Is there any documentation which
describes MySQL client installation?

Thanks.

Kirti

If you are building from source and have already run `nake install`, 
then mysql_install_db should exist in the scripts directory inside your 
source directory and in the bin directory of the mysql install directory 
(/usr/local/mysql, perhaps).

But, following this thread, there appears to be some confusion. 
mysql_install_db sets up the initial tables for the mysql server.  It 
won't do anything useful if you are installing only the client (ran 
`configure --without-server`).  In fact, if it isn't there at all, that 
may be the reason.
