Have you gone to the database directory and done %mysql< mc.sql (or
similar, I think that was it)
when I run mythfilldatabase I get ouput like this:

I also use gentoo, you should be sure that your user is a member of the
audio group, so that you have permission to write to the audio device,
else it should be fine, I use /dev/dsp which is just a symlink to the
device you specified.

Have you enabled capture on the line port? (use e.g. alsamixer and press
spacebar on the port).

OK, I ran that SQL file, but mythfilldatabase still does nothing.
Shouldn't it at least give me an error? I know it logs into mysql,
because if the password is wrong it says so. But other than that,
nothing happens. Could the qt-mysql driver be setup wrong?

Did you run the setup program after you created the database tables?

Hehe, yeah I figured that out right after I posted that message. I guess
I should think before I post. Thanks for the reply tho.

I was wondering if it would be hard to add an error message to
mythfilldatabase for issues such as the ones I had. It would help people
setting up mythtv for the first time. Id submit a patch that did that,
but I have no clue where to start. I have only ever done win32
programming, nothing ever on linux.
