Re: Problem installing mySql on Mac OS X

[Troy Lewis]

This site has precompiled MySQL binaries for Mac OS X:  
http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/mysql/
It also has easy to follow installation instructions. You need to use 
your Users utility to add the MySQL user instead of the useradd and 
groupadd commands. Complete instructions are at the site.
