If you go to mysql.com, you will find both source code and binaries for OS X. I originally got Fink for MySQL as well, but after a great deal of investigation, I realized that it would actually be better to compile my own (which I did with no problems). Fink will want to install other packages that you may not want, such as passwd and daemonic and a few others. These packages are great, but are ideal if you use many daemons which require "users" to run as. (Note: you will still want to create another user for MySQL, read on.)
See this page for the details: http://developer.apple.com/internet/macosx/osdb.html In the instructions, it says use 3.23.45, be sure to use 3.23.46 b/c 3.23.45 had a bug that prevented it from being shut down on OS X, this bug was fixed in *.46. Still, I think Fink is a great resource for other packages. Erik On Friday, January 18, 2002, at 11:43 PM, Ward W.
