>Description:
It is my first install of MySQL 64 bit. The platform is Mac G4 under
OS 10.4.10.
My guide has been the included text file, INSTALL-BINARY whose
instructions are referred to below.
The instructions call for adding a user via ADDUSER, a FreeBSD
command that nevertheless is not included on the Mac. Instead, a Mac
person uses SYSTEM PREFERENCES to add a user by declaring the users'
name and password on a special panel. For some reason, the panel does
not permit a user named mysql: "There is already a user by this
name." (?)
The instructions call for adding a user group via ADDGROUP, also not
included on the Mac. I believe that opening TERMINAL and typing
"chown <owner>:<group> <filename> " would work. But first, there
must be a user named "mysql".
The MySQL installation has a directory named man. Despite the
instructions, I included this directory in the MANPATH by modifying /
usr/share/misc/man.conf . Trying to write proper MANPATH and MANSECT
variables on the Mac is asking for trouble, in my opinion.
The MySQL installation has a directory named "data". It does not
allow the command "cd data" [permission denied]. It responds the same
way to "sudo cd data". (?)
The file mysql_install_db is of course misbehaving as shown below.
Here are messages from the OS:
/usr/local/mysql-5.0.51a-osx10.4-powerpc-64bit->scripts/
mysql_install_db --user=mysql
scripts/mysql_install_db: line 1: ./bin/my_print_defaults: Bad CPU
type in executable
Neither host 'nsh.local' nor 'localhost' could be looked up with ./
bin/resolveip
Please configure the 'hostname' command to return a correct hostname.
If you want to solve this at a later stage, restart this script with
the --force option
