Problem in installing MySQL in Linux

[Anon]

I need some help in installing MySQL.
I did the following things
1) Downloaded the mysql version 3.23.36-pc-linux-gnu-i686.tar.gz

2) tar -zxvf mysql-version

3) ln -s /usr/local/mysql-version mysql

4) adduser mysql

5) passwd mysql

6) chown -R mysql mysql-vesion mysql

7) chgrp -R root mysql-version mysql

8) su mysql

9) cd mysql

10) scripts/mysql_install_db

11) exit

12) chmod 755 /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server

13) /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start

Till the step 12 the installation went great. But after i executed the step 13 i got the following message
/usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server:@HOSNAME@:command not found
starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql 010920 13:23:52 mysqld ended

If you type "hostname" at the Unix prompt, do you get anything? If not, check your $PATH variable. hostname should be in /bin and you should have /bin in your $PATH.

If that works, then check the mysql.server script and see if it's setting a variable to the hostname command either incorrectly or to an incorrect path.

Hank - I can't remember the last time I forgot something.
