I set up a box to run asterisk and try various asterisk front ends
on. This was back in January. I got gentoo installed and emerged
apache2, php5, and mysql.
In trying to set up mysql I do the following /usr/bin/mysql_install_db
# ./mysql_install_db

The directory /var/lib/mysql and all its children are owned by
mysql:mysql and I even changed the permissions to 777 on /var/lib/
mysql and /var/lib/mysql/mysql . I don't have a clue what is going
on. I have run mysql a bunch on FreeBSD but this is the first time
on gentoo.
try $emerge --config =dev-db/mysql-<your_version>
