Sounds like a broken install. The schema files should exist.

Also, doing it as root is not advised given the db files for the user 
root are NOT in the same place as the db files for your every day user.

Again, looks like a broken install. Those files are in data/ and make 
install there is needed to the right prefix. Or the for the packaging to 
be correct of course.

NOTHING will work if those files are not in place. Really looks like you 
did make install from src/ and that's the reason for your problems here?

Is there some reason why you're not allowing make install to do this?

Same question as above here.

Sounds right.

Doubt that's an issue at this stage.

We check this in configure for you so, if that passes ...

I don't know what you're working from (tarball? git? .rpm/.deb?) but if 
building yourself you need to make install from the top level directory, 
if using a package, the package needs fixing and you may as well build 
yourself with the same arguments.

Generally, you use for git checkouts:

  ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var

or for tarballs:

  ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var

then:

  make
  sudo make install
  tracker-control -rs

and can watch progress with:

  tracker-control -F

Hopefully the answers above do. Try the wiki too, it has a bunch of 
answers on there ;)
