Installation fails on Alpha Station 255 (Unix DEC OSF 4.0)

I've successfully installed Apache 1.3.9 on my Alpha Station 255, with a
Unix DEC OSF 4.0.

Now I need to install MySQL on it: I've downloaded the binaries
"mysql-3.22.30-dec-osf4.0f-alphaev6", which are the only one I've found for
my machine.

I've unpacked the tar.gz file in "/usr/local", created the link "mysql" and
executed the installation script "./configure". But the installation fails,
and the following is the report obtained:


[begin of installation output]

Creating db table
Creating host table
Creating user table
Creating func table
Creating tables_priv table
Creating columns_priv table
Installation of grant tables failed!

Examine the logs in ./data for more information.
You can also try to start the mysqld demon with:
./bin/mysqld --skip-grant &
You can use the command line tool
./bin/mysql to connect to the mysql
database and look at the grant tables:

shell> ./bin/mysql -u root mysql
mysql> show tables

Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log
gives you a log in ./data that may be helpful.

The latest information about MySQL is available on the web at
http://www.mysql.com
Please consult the MySQL manual section: 'Problems running
mysql_install_db',
and the manual section that describes problems on your OS.
Another information source is the MySQL email archive.
Please check all of the above before mailing us!
And if you do mail us, you MUST use the ./bin/mysqlbug script!

[end of installation output]


NOTE: I've tried the way described in this output, but with no success too.

Are there any suggestions?
Thanks,
