- You can get MySQL in at least three different ways for OS X:

- - From Fink: http://finkproject.org/ I mention this first
- because it's the method I use to test MySQL++ in development.

- From MacPorts, http://macports.org. I have zero information on
this other than that it's theoretically possible for it to work.
If you figure out how to make it work, please post the method
