[root@locahost mysql]# ./scripts/mysql_install_db –user=mysql –basedir=/application/mysql/ –datadir=/application/mysql/data/
FATAL ERROR: Could not find my_print_defaults
The following directories were searched:
/application/mysql//bin
/application/mysql//extra
If you compiled from source, you need to run ‘make install’ to
copy the software into the correct location ready for operation.
If you are using a binary release, you must either be at the top
level of the extracted archive, or pass the –basedir option
pointing to that location.
原因：安装路径指定错误，刚刚仔细看了以下，发现/application多写了一个p，应该是/aplication。
解决方法：重新指定正确安装路径
