If you're running anything like SELinux or AppArmor, turn it off.

If you're running a plain *nix install, something is screwed up in your
installation package. Download a fresh copy from http://www.postfix.org/
and try again.

Troubleshooting your specific problem is possible, but probably not a
productive use of your time.//

Use the instructions that come with postfix or from the above URL. 3rd
party instructions are not necessarily current or accurate.

The default postfix install does not use mysql. Unless you require it
for something, it's probably a package dependency you're missing on a
precompiled version of postfix. If you actually need mysql, you should
make sure that mysql and the mysql client libraries are installed.
