New description:

 When running mysql_install_db errors occur:

 {{{
 mal:/opt/local/lib/mysql5 edmond% sudo -u mysql ./bin/mysql_install_db
 FATAL ERROR: Could not find fill_help_tables.sql inside --basedir

 When using --basedir you must point either into a MySQL binary
 distribution directory or a compiled tree previously populated
 by 'make install'
 mal:/opt/local/lib/mysql5 root# sudo -u mysql ./bin/mysql_install_db
 --user=mysql
 bindir = __PREFIX/bin
 FATAL ERROR: Could not find fill_help_tables.sql inside --basedir

 When using --basedir you must point either into a MySQL binary
 distribution directory or a compiled tree previously populated
 by 'make install'
 }}}



 Which is because of the following code:


 {{{
 if test -z "$basedir"
 then
   basedir="/opt/local"
   bindir="/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin"
   mysqld="/opt/local/libexec/mysqld"
   pkgdatadir="/opt/local/share/mysql5/mysql"
 else
   bindir="$basedir/bin"
   # We set up bootstrap-specific paths later, so skip this for now
   if test "$cross_bootstrap" -eq 0
   then
 }}}

 It looks like $basedir should be null when it reaches the above, but
 instead it is "!__PREFIX/bin" which turns up nothing when searching for
 key files. Perhaps some substitution failed? I got it to work, by forcing
 the correct values in the script, but I'm guessing that's not intended.
