mysql安装时候出现的问题，请教！

今天安装mysql-5.1.30后无法开启mysql服务，下面是我的安装步骤及出错日志，大家帮我看看，看问题出在哪里？
1、 tar -zvxf mysql-5.1.30.tar.gz
2、 cd mysql-5.1.30
3、 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib/mysql \
--with-charset=gbk --enable-thread-safe-client
4、make
5、make install
6、make clean
cp support-files/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf
7、初始化数据库
groupadd mysql
useradd -g mysql mysql
8、cd /usr/local/mysql/bin
./mysql_install_db --user=mysql
到这步就下不去了，下面是这步的错误日志，大家帮我查查！
[root@localhost bin]# ./mysql_install_db --user=mysql
Installing MySQL system tables...
090328 20:28:45 [ERROR] /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld: unknown option '--skip-federated'
090328 20:28:45 [ERROR] Aborting

090328 20:28:45 [Note] /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown complete


Installation of system tables failed!  Examine the logs in
/var/lib/mysql for more information.

You can try to start the mysqld daemon with:

    shell> /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld --skip-grant &

and use the command line tool /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables:

    shell> /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -u root mysql
    mysql> show tables

Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths.  Using --log
gives you a log in /var/lib/mysql 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 are the
MySQL email archives available at http://lists.mysql.com/.

Please check all of the above before mailing us!  And remember, if
you do mail us, you MUST use the /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqlbug script!

应该把mysql的数据库目录所有权划归mysql之后再./mysql_install_db --user=mysql

按照chenyx的意见，我重新编译了一遍，但还是提示这个错误！

需要改几个权限的，具体你可以搜索下。我记不清了。

已经解决了，在my.cnf中将--skip-federated注释掉，不过我不知道--skip-federated有什么用，将它注释掉之后会有什么影响？
