Ryan, I did all of the cleaning I knew how, and the results are not good. I still get "Could not find mysqld" and the statement that non-existent directories were searched. I can fix that with --basedir= or --srcdir=, but that will not help if mysqld is corrupt which it is. It appears that my Mac is corrupting mysqld when I download it. I am going to open another thread asking if anyone could send me a copy of the contents of a current mysqld. Maybe that way I can determine what is happening when I download one.

Return to the wiki to set up a main database, etc. Ah, I'm glad you found that the files were not the ones provided by MacPorts, because I wasn't sure what to suggest otherwise. Let us know if everything works after cleaning up and trying again. David J.
