Michael, I just realized that the binary there is for Mac OS X Server, not "client". I'm sorry. I didn't notice the difference at first. > I suppose I could compile my own, but the binary is a lot more > convenient. I am just wondering if any special options were included.

I just compiled 3.23.45 with these options (following instructions from http://developer.apple.com/internet/macosx/osdb.html ): localhost:mysql-3.23.45$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql \ --with-unix-socket-path=/usr/local/mysql/run/mysql_socket \ --with-mysql-user=mysqladm \ --with-comment \ --with-debug make sudo make install And that overwrote my old 3.23.44 source install (which had the same configure options) but preserved the data in my /usr/local/mysql/var directory. Also, it looks like the owners and groups of the directories are also all intact (I think make install takes care of this by default). The directory tree for the binary is a bit different (I tried it once) but this setup seems to work for me -- the "bin/mysqladmin shutdown" command works great now!! (No more "flush tables ; kill -9 %1" or any of that!) My thanks to the developers for taking into account the needs of Darwin users in their work -- we won't be a minority for long!
