Is there a step-by-step, "How to setup a MySQL database for use with GnuCash"?

Correct. It hangs when I try to open the same db it saved.
Any subsequent re-starts of GnuCash do the same for that database.

Do you mean that if you do Save As and select the mysql option that it
creates the db ok, but then if you close and re-open gnucash that it
does not re-open the mysql db?
