This might or might not be related to the problems occurring with
the installation of mysql5 .
I installed mysql4 through macports ($ port install mysql4 +server)
mysql would not start (from the command line).
Looking at the mysql error log i realized that there was a problem
with writing permission to the directory '/opt/local/var/db/mysql'
I changed the owner of that directory from root to mysql and that
fixed the issue.
I'm not sure if I had done something wrong causing this issue in
the first place.
Hopefully this might help someone encountering a similar problem.
take care.
I don't understand why you are experiencing that problem.
If you install mysql4 +server then the portfile says
xinstall -o mysql -g mysql -m 775 -d ${destroot}${dbdir}
which should set the ownership of that directory properly.
