Hi,

So I'm new to MYSQL and RoR. I am trying to learn ruby on rails, but
i'm having a problem with MYSQL.

I am using Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (10.6.7).

To install MYSQL i done:

    brew install mysql

Which installed mysql, but when I do "mysql_install_db" this comes up:

"
FATAL ERROR: Could not find ./bin/my_print_defaults

If you compiled from source, you need to run 'make install' to
copy the software into the correct location ready for operation.

If you are using a binary release, you must either be at the top
level of the extracted archive, or pass the --basedir option
pointing to that location.
"

and when I do "mysql -u root" this comes up:
"
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
"

Can anybody please help me? As I would like to continue learning ror
ASAP, but this is holding me back...


Thank You

Mark M
