[rt-users] Weird installation problem, RT3, not in the manual as far as I could see.

[shimi]

I tried installing RT3, after fulfilling all the dependencies... and I get 
this:

# make initialize-database
/usr/local/bin/perl //usr/local/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 sql-server as root.
Please specify that user's database password below. If the user has no database
password, just press return.

Password:

Checking for existing system user...not found.  This appears to be a new 
installation.

make: *** [initialize-database] Error 1

remember: sbin/rt-test... | grep MISSING returns nothing. (in other words, i have all deps)
do also note: i tried dropdb and that from the begining... no luck

Enviroment: Apache 1.3.27, perl 5.8.0 (installed two days ago), modperl, mysql 4.0.11-gamma
