I would suggest if you are trying it out for the first time, forget about CVS and use the latest stable release. You didn't mention what distro you're using. IMHO first timers might have better success starting with SUSE and installing from rpm. Once you get a working system up and running, then start playing around with other distros, CVS, etc. You'll have a working model to make comparisons with.
Off hand, I'd take a wild stab and say there might be a hiccup in CVS and RD is trying to update an existing db instead of initializing a new one.

Subject: [RDD] First time install - infinite loop in rdadmin around MySQL
Hi folks,
I'm trying out Rivendell for the first time, out of CVS, from the 1x_branch.
As per the instructions, I have compiled and installed all of the binaries,
and set up a new user account for the system, as well as a mysql user with
all privileges. When I got to run rdadmin, it just spins forever. By
wrapping rdadmin in strace, I discovered that rdadmin was looping forever. I
turned on debugging in my MySQL server and discovered that it's just doing:
45 Connect radio@localhost on rivendell
45 Init DB rivendell
45 Query select DB from VERSION
45 Quit
46 Connect radio@localhost on rivendell
46 Init DB rivendell
46 Query select DB from VERSION
46 Quit
47 Connect radio@localhost on rivendell
47 Init DB rivendell
47 Query select DB from VERSION
47 Quit
...forever.
Anyone know what this is about? Any help or advice you have to share is
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Andrew Widdowson
