WordPress not working with mysql 5.0-alpha1 ?

Hello.
I know this might be an odd request and I could be smacked for being bleeding edge. But I am trying to install wordpress (which is very impressive by the way) on a Freebsd machine which had mysql installed from ports. The ID reads:
-su-2.05b# mysql -V
mysql Ver 14.3 Distrib 5.0.0-alpha, for portbld-freebsd4.9 (i386)
When I call install.php I see at the very top:
SQL/DB Error:
[Table ‘wp.wp_options’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT option_name, option_value FROM wp_options
When I continue it remains on the top, as soon as I click on step2 I get:
SQL/DB Error:
[Incorrect sub part key. The used key part isn’t a string, the used length is longer than the key part or the storage engine doesn’t support unique sub keys]
and below that in a repeating fashion:
SQL/DB Error:
[Table ‘wp.wp_optionvalues’ doesn’t exist]
Step 3 produces lots of errors in the fashion:
SQL/DB Error:
[Incorrect sub part key. The used key part isn’t a string, the used length is longer than the key part or the storage engine doesn’t support unique sub keys]
CREATE TABLE wp_optionvalues ( option_id int(11) NOT NULL, optionvalue tinytext, optionvalue_desc varchar(255), optionvalue_max int(11), optionvalue_min int(11), optionvalue_seq int(11), UNIQUE (option_id, optionvalue(255)), INDEX (option_id, optionvalue_seq) )
SQL/DB Error:
[You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ” at line 1]
SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_id =
SQL/DB Error:
[Duplicate entry ’55-0-default_post_status’ for key 1]
INSERT INTO wp_options (option_id, option_name, option_type, option_value, option_description, option_admin_level, option_width) VALUES(55,’default_post_status’, 5, ‘publish’, ‘The default state of each new post’, 8, 20)
SQL/DB Error:
[You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ” at line 1]
SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_id =
I am using the latest tarball.
Thanks for your hard work
ADDON!
I tried with the beta and the
SQL/DB Error:
[Incorrect sub part key. The used key part isn’t a string, the used length is longer than the key part or the storage engine doesn’t support unique sub keys]
CREATE TABLE wp_optionvalues ( option_id int(11) NOT NULL, optionvalue tinytext, optionvalue_desc varchar(255), optionvalue_max int(11), optionvalue_min int(11), optionvalue_seq int(11), UNIQUE (option_id, optionvalue(255)), INDEX (option_id, optionvalue_seq) )
SQL/DB Error:
[Table ‘wp.wp_optionvalues’ doesn’t exist]
SELECT * FROM wp_optionvalues WHERE option_id = ’49’ AND optionvalue = ‘days’
errors in Step 3 remain. The other errors disappear as mentioned in the posts before
