Because I was not doing this I was getting errors #1251 and #2006 no matter how I did my grant permissions. This seems to only effect people running MySQL 4.1 and up...It caused me rage for several days.

I checked and verified this, thank you for submitting it. My opinion becomes, each day, that eqemu should host mysql binaries to be sure that people will use the right ones

Also I was only able to get world working on my system by editing the makefile and changing the -march statement to my specific processor (i586 for me) and by setting the option -O3
Anything else would cause world to compile but not to run.

I ll put that remark about i686/i586 somewhere in the post too. Option -03 is only needed for optimization and doesn't differ much from -O2 (it affects inline functions).

Thank you for feedback.
