This is a good sign and means MySQL is installed correctly so far.

The error is referring to the 'mc.sql' file that you are trying to
import, which cannot be found. As Boleslaw stated, this file is part
of the "mythtv" package. This package is automatically installed for
you if you follow Jarod's guide and install the "mythtv-suite"
package.

Are you certain you installed the "mythtv-suite" package in step #9 of
Jarod's guide? Did you notice any errors on the screen?

What is the output of

# rpm -qa | grep "myth"
