I could be slightly off, the mythconverg db might not get created until 
you run mythtvsetup... Okay, just looked at the mc.sql file, line one 
is "CREATE DATABASE mythconverg;"... Huh. I don't really know mysql all 
that well, so I'm not certain if maybe nothing shows up in 
/var/lib/mysql until you actually put something in it... Anyone?

Worst-case, try "mysql -u root -p", then at the mysql> prompt "create 
database mythconverg;" and quit. Then try mythtvsetup again... You 
might also double-check that the mythtv user actually got added w/a 
"mysql -u root -p mysql" then at the mysql> prompt, "select * from 
user;" and see if there are any mythtv entries. If not...

Looking at my box just now, it looks like it should actually be 
qt-MySQL, and version 1:3.1.2-14 is correct, so I guess you're actually 
fine there. I guess its gotta be the db...
