Er, are you sure you have typed the filename correctly - including the 
correct case ? keep in mind, unix systems are case sensitive, that means 
that MySQL-server != mysql-server != MySql-server

what do you get from the results of an "ls" in that directory ? (feel 
free to remove the non-relevant lines)

Just keep in mind, when a system says "I cant find the file" it is not 
usually lieing and computers, while they appear so - are not usually 
vindictive, an error such as this probably means you typed the wrong 
file in or are in the wrong directory.
