はじめまして。市村と申します。
MySQLの超初心者です。

実は今サーバ（UNIX)にmysql-3.23.33-dec-osf4.0f-alphaev6をインストール
しているのですが
script/mysql_install_dbを流すとたくさんエラーが出てきてしまいます。
/usr/local/ではないところにインストールしました。
ただ、mysql-3.23.25-beta-dec-osf4.0f-alphaev6をインストールしたとき
はうまくいってたのですが・・・
ダウンロードしたファイル自体が間違っているのでしょうか？

すみません。どなたかなにかわかりましたら助けてくださぁい(;_;)

エラーメッセージを以下にのせます。（長いです。すみません・・・）

WARNING: The host 'pd8.pharmadesign.co.jp' could not be looked up with resolveip.
This probably means that your libc libraries are not 100 % compatible
with this binary MySQL version. The MySQL deamon, mysqld, should work
normally with the exception that host name resolving will not work.
This means that you should use IP addresses instead of hostnames
when specifying MySQL privileges !

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.
