I use mysql strictly for local WebDev, in which case you can just leave the
mysql hostname at localhost -- this has worked without problems for me since
my install ca 12 months ago. The solution is to just do

sudo hostname localhost

and then rerun fink install mysql. It will take up where it left off (and
not start compiling again). I think this leads to a minor problem later when
you use it: you need to set all users' allowed host to 'localhost',
otherwise you won't be able to connect (you won't be able to connect
externally anyway, I think) -- at least this is what I have experienced and
accepted; if there is someone who can shed more light on this issue, I'd be
most grateful.
