[gentoo-user] Update mime database - won't!

[gentoo-user] Update mime database - won't!

Hi All,

I tried following the elog suggestion after emerging 
x11-misc/shared-mime-info-0.51, but I get this message back:

# update-mime-database /usr/local/share/mime/
update-mime-database: I don't have write permission on /usr/local/share/mime.
Try rerunning me as root.

Looking for it reveals that it's not there:

# ls -la /usr/local/share/mime/
ls: cannot access /usr/local/share/mime/: No such file or directory

Is there anything else that I need to do first before trying to update it?

Just do update-mime-database /usr/share/mime/

I don't know who has it in /usr/local?
