Installation of system tables failed! Examine the logs in

/usr/local/mysql/var for more information.

You can try to start the mysqld daemon with:

shell> /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld --skip-grant &

and use the command line tool /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql

to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables:

shell> /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root mysql

mysql> show tables

Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --general-log gives you a log in /usr/local/mysql/var that may be helpful.

Just to clarify the above answer, there was an error in the my.cnf config file. When this was fixed, the error went away.
