Those message are kind of odd, even on a messed up system. I would
first run the repair privileges in the disk utility for good measure,
then delete all traces of MySQL and just start over. MySQL should be
in /usr/local/mysql. To remove it just type:
sudo rm -R /usr/local/mysql
Then try installing again. If you are running OSX Server, things may
be a little different. Apple puts MySQL files in different places on
there server install as I recall. You may need to poke around a bit
to find them. Check /usr/local and also /etc

Hi,
I've downloaded the "mysql-max-4.1.15-apple-darwin8.2.0-
powerpc.dmg" and tried to install it, but I keep on getting the
error "You cannot continue. There is nothing to install".
I've also tried the "mysql-max-5.0.16-osx10.4-powerpc.dmg" and the
"mysql-standard-4.1.15-apple-darwin8.2.0-powerpc.dmg", all give the
same result...
Can anyone help me? I think the previous person using this Mac
screwed up some things, I've found traces of mySQL on the system,
but I cannot find anything usable anymore.
Any help is welcome!
warm regards,
