[gentoo-user] stuck with Mysql --config

[Ivan Alden]

Hello,

I emerged mysql-5.0.54 and when running 

emerge --config =dev-db/mysql-5.0.54

 * 
 * ERROR: dev-db/mysql-5.0.54 failed.
 * Call stack:
 *               ebuild.sh, line   49:  Called pkg_config
 *             environment, line 3312:  Called mysql_pkg_config
 *             environment, line 3019:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *           die "Failed to run mysql_install_db. Please
review /var/log/mysql/mysqld.err AND ${TMPDIR}/mysql_install_db.log";
 *  The die message:
 *   Failed to run mysql_install_db. Please
review /var/log/mysql/mysqld.err
AND /var/tmp/portage/dev-db/mysql-5.0.54/temp/mysql_install_db.log
 * 
 * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack
if relevant.
 * A complete build log is located at
'/var/tmp/portage/dev-db/mysql-5.0.54/temp/build.log'.
 * The ebuild environment file is located at
'/var/tmp/portage/dev-db/mysql-5.0.54/temp/environment'.
 * This ebuild is from an overlay: '/var/db/pkg/'
 * 

Using the steps for password recovery:

mysqld_safe --user=mysql --skip-grant-tables --skip-networking & 
mysql -u root mysql

I can access but when updating:
UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('mypassword') where user='root';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.05 sec)
Rows matched: 0  Changed: 0  Warnings: 0

I can create a user but I can't seem to get root privileges on it;

Any information around this would be greatly appreciated.

Regards.
