I just installed on RedHat 9 using RPMs (probably different ones?  thought 
I think they may have been from sweden...)

The setup file was in /usr/share/docs/mythtv/, I think it was under the 
database subdirectory there.  I ran the command as root.  I don't remember 
now whether I had to set a root password etc before that.

If the person with the original problem wants to contact me off-list, feel 
free, I do a lot of MySQL stuff.  I may not know it all off the top of my 
head, but I've got the references handy and would be glad to try to help.
