You have another thread open regarding this:

There are links to documentations and sources.
You wrote about a successful installation there.

Did you perform all steps from

Not sure where your problem is now.

Check if it is running already
ps -ef|grep mysql
Check if startup is enabled
more /etc/rc.config.d/mysqld
startup is done by
/sbin/init.d/mysqld
