it has to do with the db.ini.
i could not reproduce the error, but it might extra space, or in the password (a special char, or extrra space, or EOL comment).

try removing leading / trailing space, all comments, or check with another pass.
To get better report, try after changing lines 19-21 in EQ/dbaccess.pl to :

foreach $var ( "user","host","database","password"){
  print "$var : >>>", $dbvars{"db".$var},"<<<\n";
}

Also try changing your db.ini to access default mysql TEST db. It should still break the simulator, but later in the code.

[Database]
host=localhost
user=test
password=test
database=test
compression=off

I'll try to improve parsing of db.ini if you get results.
