I can only find this version…

mysql-5.1.40.tar.gz

Will the above work with this version? I do have a 5.0.xx install for OS X. Can I do a newer “make” using the config that you have above? Thank you.

Can’t tell but if you want a clean install, remove everything from /usr/local/mysql and from your Desktop. Reboot and start from the first page (installing the binary)

Thanks Richard – have I stuffed up my install?

Ben, you’ve downloaded the wrong package file. Get the source file almost at the bottom of the download page from the section “Source downloads”.

Sorry, I know I’m new to all this but what is the source directory?

I’d assumed it was the unpacked tar folder sitting on my desktop so I went: $ cd /Users//Desktop/mysql

I then ran all the commands above but I think MySQL was installed into the folder on the desktop? I also got: “NOTE: This is a MySQL binary distribution. It’s ready to run, you don’t need to configure it!’ before I could run the “make” command.

Then it installed but failed with:

:mysql $ chown: /Users//Desktop/mysql/data/.local.err: Operation not permitted

Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /Users//Desktop/mysql/data
rm: /tmp/mysql.sock: Permission denied

STOPPING server from pid file /Users//Desktop/mysql/data/.local.pid
090330 11:06:18 mysqld ended

Any help would be much appreciated.
