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
Installing all prepared tables
ERROR: 1 Can't create/write to file '/var/lib/mysql/mysql/ db.MYI' (Errcode: 13)
ERROR: 1146  Table 'mysql.db' doesn't exist
ERROR: 1146  Table 'mysql.db' doesn't exist

ERROR: 1146  Table 'mysql.user' doesn't exist
ERROR: 1146  Table 'mysql.user' doesn't exist
blah
blah
blah

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.

Any ideas or hints are appreciated.

Thanks
Chad
