Fatal error: Can't open privilege tables: File '/usr/local/share/mysql/charsets/?.conf' not found (Errcode: 2)

[Ricardo David Martins]

Hi

I am trying to run mysql 4.0.21 server on a freeBSD 5.3 box. I tried
to run mysqld_safe to add a root password but i can't seem to run the
safe command because it shuts down immediately.

The following error is presented to me:

Fatal error: Can't open privilege tables: File
'/usr/local/share/mysql/charsets/?.conf' not found (Errcode: 2)

I would like it to load the latin1.conf charset.

I can't find any variable that influences this choice. Probably there
is something not configured or the configuration isn't supported.
Anyway I would like to know how to choose this. I installed the binary
freebsd package which is suppose to be very reliable to a quick start.

Thanks
