and that is why you normally do "ln -s /path/to/your/binary /usr/local/bin/" or do not use OSX as server because on a linux-system you have a package manager which can install the mysql-sub-folder structure directly to /usr/local/ where it is already in the path and it takes care of a clean removal uon uninstall the only reason for /usr/local/mysql/ is that you can remove this folder and is needed only on Mac OSX
