I got a new machine, and used custombuild to install and upgrade to the latest MySql 5.0.

Now it gives me:
Code:
File '/usr/share/mysql/charsets/?.conf' not found (Errcode: 2)
Character set '#48' is not a compiled character set and is not specified in the '/usr/share/mysql/charsets/Index' file

Googling for it end up on a years old bug-page from MySql, where nothing was done about it.
 
Is it a Debian server? If yes, try:
Code:
mv /etc/mysql/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf.debian
ln -s /etc/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf
/etc/init.d/mysqld restart
 
The error also speaks of character set "48"
But my /usr/share/mysql/charsets/Index.xml file contains:
<collation name="latin1_general_ci" id="48">
<order>Dutch</order>
<order>English</order>
<order>French</order>
<order>German Duden</order>
<order>Italian</order>
<order>Latin</order>
<order>Portuguese</order>
<order>Spanish</order>
</collation>

I got a hunch that MySql ain't compiled with latin, and instead with utf-8 on this machine.
Even though it says in /etc/my.cnf:
collation-server=latin1_general_ci

And I can't locate the file "latin1_gereral_ci", but can find: "/usr/share/mysql/charsets/latin1.xml"


/me looks further..
