Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and MySQL
Yesterday I Tweeted that MySQL was no longer working after I installed Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
Well, the bad news is installing Snow Leopard over 10.5.8 running MySQL results in a ‘broken’ install of MySQL. The fix, though, is easy….
To fix the problem, download and install the latest version of MySQL – mysql-5.1.37-osx10.5-x86. Although it says it is 10.5 it installs OK, and seems to run with no problems under 10.6

thanks, works great!
Seems to be that it breaks the symlink to “/usr/local/mysql “
but it does leave all the data in the same directory with the “mysql-verson number”
(when installing the sql package it creates the link again)
Seemed to do more than just break the link for me, but then again I was running quite an old version (5.0) version of MySQL.
I have installed mysql-5.4.2-beta-osx10.5-x86_64 and I’m getting:
-bash: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql: Bad CPU type in executable
have you guys had this pb also?
For the past several days that link to the MySQL download hasn’t been working. In fact if you go to MySQL.com and attempt to download from there, you’ll only find a broken link.
Which has me frustrated and wondering, How do I get this MySQL package? Is there a mirror somewhere?
