Hi there, Douglas.  In general for helping with this kind of thing it's
useful to know which OS and version you are running, Also, how did you
install MySQL (compiling from source, your distribution's package, or
whatever), and what version is it?

I'd try following that warning's advice, and runnin the command as root:

  -laptop:$ sudo mysql_install_db

Any good?
