This is a mac os X installation problem: When I download/install the pkg
version of mysql 4.0.13, two directories seem to be missing in
/usr/local/bin/mysql: var/ and run/. So, when I try to run mysqld_safe (or
safe_mysqld), I get errors like:
touch: /usr/local/mysql/var/myhostname.err:
This is a follow-up mac os X installation problem: I mentioned in an earlier
e-mail that var/ and run/ are nowhere to be found, so I did as Jim Dickenson
suggested and mv'd data to var. now when I run ./bin/mysqld_safe , I get an
error that says /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysql is missing
