Wow I didn't notice this. I believe this will solve my little permission
problem I've been having.
Thanks Neil.

::Hello,
::
::There is a documentation error the MySQL manual:
::
::--------------------------------------------------------------
::4.6 Installing a MySQL Binary Distribution
::
::9.Change ownership of the installation directory to the user that you will
::run mysqld as:
::
:: shell> chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql
:: shell> chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql
::
::--------------------------------------------------------------
::
::This will not work since /usr/local/mysql is a symbolic link and
::at least the GNU versions of chown -R and chgrp -R do not work
::with symbolic links. The manual should say:
::
:: shell> chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql-VERSION-OS
:: shell> chgrp -R mysql /usr/local/mysql-VERSION-OS
::
::--------------------------------------------------------------
::
::Thanks,
