Installation problem - <make initialize-database>

Hello,
I’m having trouble initializing my rt3 database. Here’s
what I get:

make initialize-database
/var/local/bin/perl //var/rt3/sbin/rt-setup-database --action init --dba
root --prompt-for-dba-password
In order to create a new database and grant RT access to that database,
this script needs to connect to your mysql instance on localhost as root.
Please specify that user’s database password below. If the user has no database
password, just press return.

Password: Now creating a database for RT.

Thanks for any help,

I’ve solved this (or at least found a work-around), so just in case someone
else encounters it:

I customized RT_Config.pm (in etc) including disabling LogToSysLog
and enabling LogToFile, and copied it to RT_SiteConfig.pm.
I also copied these files back to my temp rt install etc directory. I’m
not sure which of these files is used when doing make-initialize-database.

This solution is based on a couple of threads I belatedly found:
http://lists.fsck.com/pipermail/rt-users/2003-March/012703.html and
