(Posting this in case others have the same problem.)

The error message was cryptic:
Code:
Starting MySQL. ERROR! The server quit without updating PID file

I tried running mysqld_safe -v, but that just gave
Code:
mysqld from pid file ended

Finally, I tried mysqld-debug, which was more helpful:
Code:
error while loading shared libraries: libnuma.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It turns out libnuma is part of numactl, so
Code:
yum install numactl
fixed the problem and now mysqld starts.

Thank you so much. You just saved my day!

I though Numa was needed for Mysql 5.7, but seems for 5.6.38 also.
