I followed the steps in the INSTALL-BINARY file and get this error, I really must say that I don't have any idea of what the problem might be.
This is a strange one, I usually use;
$ /etc/init.d/mysql start
to start my server (it's actually started at boot time, but that is what I would do if it wasn't 😛).
How did you install MySQL? Via APT or some other method?
most likely mysql either cannot find the InnoDB datafiles, or the files are not read/write for the mysql user.
Read the README files that come with every installation package.
