The reason you should not do this, or at least the reason why I do

not using the MacPorts version of mysql5?
First, thank you very much for the instructions on how to modify the
port file. As to your other question, I have a lot of programs that
are looking for mysql in the normal place. Also, I mentioned in
another post that I was having problems with localhost mapping to
the socket file - the port uses a custom location for the socket
file, and a lot of my programs don't map correctly when connecting
to localhost. Another reason is the MySQL binary comes with a nice
pref pane to turn it on and off and to start it up on boot up. I
guess I just like it more "Mac like". :-)
However, perhaps I could use the ports if I made proper symbolic
links everywhere - then everything should work, including the pref
pane. I could do this, or modify the port file to change the file
paths. Do you recommend this instead?
Thanks again,
Karl
The MySQL GUI Tools seem to work fine with the MacPorts built MySQL.
