OK, have done that (and many thanks!), but now am back to the problem I had in the first place, i.e. that it doesn't create the /sw/var/mysql/test and /sw/var/mysql/mysql databases.Aha! Sorted out one problem - now for the next one. Basically, the problem was that there was an /etc/my.cnf file lying around from one of my previous installation, and that defined MySQL's data directory as being /var/database/mysql. It would appear this caused the installation process to put the databases there instead of /sw/var/mysql...
Great!
BUT...You need to do 'sudo safe_mysqld', so that the process can switch over to user mysql by itself, thus gaining permission to the files above. What I'd do is install daemonic, and then have daemonic start mysqld automatically at every startup -- much more convenient.
Although MySQL installs properly, attempting to run safe_mysqld gives some more permissions errors:
