OK I have removed the mysql, the mysql-server, and the mysqlclient
RPMs for both architectures, removed /var/lib/mysql, then reinstalled
only the x86_64 versions.  However I still have the startup problem,
the log file shows the same error.  

I thought of selinux too, but 'getenforce' shows selinux is Disabled.

Any other ideas?
