I have started configuring mythtv according to the instructions in 
http://www.mythtv.org/modules.php?name=MythInstall, but I'm stuck at 
starting mythbackend; I get this error:

QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL3 driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers:
2006-01-15 18:52:14.743 New DB connection, total: 1
2006-01-15 18:52:14.744 Unable to connect to database!
2006-01-15 18:52:14.747 No error type from QSqlError?  Strange...
2006-01-15 18:52:14.747 Failed to init MythContext, exiting.

Where do I get this driver?

This is my setup, if needed:

Gentoo linux, kernel 2.6.15-rc5, mysql: Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.18, mythtv 
0.18.1-rc2, qt 3.3.4-r8.
