That's because Mac OS X 10.0.4 is outdated. Unless you have a really good reason not to use it, you should use 10.1 (it's much much better for only a $20 upgrade). Note that 10.1 DevTools is different from 10.0.4, so you will need that too (free download with registration @ apple.com), and there will be some changes especially if you use Apache. If you need more info on that, email me, but on the subject of setting up MySQL on 10.1: http://developer.apple.com/internet/macosx/osdb.html http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Workbench/2001-10-11.01.html and if you want to do a binary install, there's Fink or Marc Liyanage's packages: http://fink.sourceforge.net http://www.entropy.ch/software/MacOSx/mysql/ Fink is well worth it, it is a port of Debian's package management for Darwin (and there are plenty of ports available through Fink).
