Demarc and MySQL on Libranet-Debian Woody Stable

[Brian Kelsay]

I may be off base here, but it looks like the script is trying to use your
host name while initializing its database.   Have you assigned a FQDN
hostname to the PC that works within your domain?
I would check in MySQL knowledge bases for this error.
A quick google.com search for (mysql error too few arguments to function
`gethostbyname_r') yielded this result and others:

Looks like you maybe didn't install a c++ library (libstdc++ and gcc-c++
pkgs) or you will need to edit your config.h file for gcc.

Google is your friend.
