I think you have to use mysqlbinlog but I have not tried it.

/usr/bin/mysqlbinlog

Dumps a MySQL binary log in a format usable for viewing or for pipeing to the mysql command line client

Also try http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Log_Files.html

Unless mysql is start with the right params no logging seems to be done.

Error messages would be in /var/lib/mysql/HOSTNAME.err
