Error log (no replies)

Hi everyone,

So I was reinstalling MySQL from source, and that when fine. But on my previous computer, warning messages such as these

111028 2:16:18 InnoDB: !!!!!!!! UNIV_DEBUG switched on !!!!!!!!!
111028 2:16:18 InnoDB: The InnoDB memory heap is disabled
111028 2:16:18 InnoDB: Mutexes and rw_locks use GCC atomic builtins
111028 2:16:18 InnoDB: Compressed tables use zlib 1.2.3
111028 2:16:18 InnoDB: Initializing buffer pool, size = 128.0M
111028 2:16:18 InnoDB: Completed initialization of buffer pool
111028 2:16:18 InnoDB: highest supported file format is Barracuda.

used to be printed in stdout. For some reason, they are now printed in the error log. Is there any way to revert to printing them in the terminal (nb: I'm running Ubuntu 11.10)

I call mysqld using /mysqld --lc-messages-dir=/usr/local/mysql/share. At no point have I called it using -log-error= . and am using the basic my-medium.cnf

Any help would be much appreciated.
