I don't see why this person recommended that you upgrade/rebuild everything.
Especially if you already had MySQL up and running without problems.  Maybe
the update to the latest MySQL depending on the version you're running, but
that's about it.

First, if you really need to get MySQL running, I would start it with
safe_mysqld.  To do that, find the startup script safe_mysqld which should
be located in your MySQL bin/ directory or some place equivalent.  Once you
find it, from a shell type as the root user (or the MySQL user if you set
one up):

/path/to/safe_mysqld &

That will at least get MySQL up and running while you tool around with
putting it into your startup scripts.
