You have installed the server Package,right. For most linux distribution there is a server package and a client package. If so and the problem remains there are some sample files in /usr/share/mysql/ which usually packaged in the server package called
my-huge.cnf
my-innodb-heavy-4G.cnf
my-large.cnf
my-medium.cnf
my-small.cnf
You could copy one of these files to /etc/my.cnf or you could try reinstalling the mysql server package.
