I've run all of the installation procedures and database initialization steps in entropy.ch and still get a number of errors such as no access to the /data directory in order to view the error log.
I get this error on attempting to initialize the database: Kevins-Computer:/usr/local/mysql kevinbarry$ sudo ./scripts/mysql_install_db Preparing db table Preparing host table Preparing user table Preparing func table Preparing tables_priv table Preparing columns_priv table Installing all prepared tables ./bin/mysqld: ERROR: unknown variable 'innodb_buffer_pool_size = 70M' Installation of grant tables failed!

Look in /usr/local/mysql/data/ for the log file hostname.err (replace 'hostname' with the name of your mac) to see why mysqld didn't start. My first guess would be a permissions problem with either /tmp or /usr/local/mysql/data.
