Re: Problem installing MySQL on Mac OSX 10.4.3

[Brent Baisley <suppressed>]

Those message are kind of odd, even on a messed up system. I would  
first run the repair privileges in the disk utility for good measure,  
then delete all traces of MySQL and just start over. MySQL should be  
in /usr/local/mysql. To remove it just type:
sudo rm -R /usr/local/mysql

Then try installing again. If you are running OSX Server, things may  
be a little different. Apple puts MySQL files in different places on  
there server install as I recall. You may need to poke around a bit  
to find them. Check /usr/local and also /etc
