And the error messages mean nothing to you?

Do you really believe you have an absolute path
/usr/local//usr/local/mysql-5.0.82-osx10.5-powerpc/... ? Obviously, you've
botched the installation commands. Undo everything you've done and start
over again, carefully following the INSTALL-BINARY instructions in the
stated order.

My opinion from everything you've posted here and in other newsgroups is
that you're very confused and working against yourself. The instructions in
the INSTALL-BINARY file are simple, straight-ahead, and step-by-step. The
problem you've created for yourself is mixing other, unrelated instructions
that are years old with the current task, along with an apparent lack of
understanding of absolute vs. relative path.

I did it over exactly as the binary instructions. It stops on the
install script. First I checked a mysql group and user are already
assigned:
sh-3.2# dscacheutil -q group -a name mysql
name: _mysql
password: *
gid: 74
name: _mysql
password: *
uid: 74
gid: 74
dir: /var/empty
shell: /usr/bin/false
gecos: MySQL Server
This is my history of the install:
gunzip < /Users/jlrough/src/mysql-5.1.40-osx10.5-powerpc.tar.gz | tar
xvf -
504 pwd
505 ln -s /usr/local mysql
506 chown -R mysql .
507 chgrp -R mysql .
So now I need to run the install script but I get an error. It looks
like I ran it from the right directory.
sh-3.2# /usr/local/mysql/scripts/mysql_install_db
FATAL ERROR: Could not find mysqld
The following directories were searched:
/usr/local/mysql-5.0.82-osx10.5-powerpc/bin//libexec
/usr/local/mysql-5.0.82-osx10.5-powerpc/bin//sbin
/usr/local/mysql-5.0.82-osx10.5-powerpc/bin//bin
If you compiled from source, you need to run 'make install' to
copy the software into the correct location ready for operation.
If you are using a binary release, you must either be at the top
level of the extracted archive, or pass the --basedir option
pointing to that location.
I think the $PATH variable is okay. Why can't it find the mysqld?
thanks,

All mysql_install_db does is install the initial databases.
Look at the list of directories being searched. Notice anything unusual?

Can you give me a hint here?
The mysqld_safe command is in /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe
directory. So it is looking in the symlink directory /usr/local/
mysql-5.0.82-osx10.5-powerpc/bin but why does it look in //libexec
or //sbin or //bin? Why doesn't it find it in /usr/local/mysql/bin/
mysqld_safe
Is it the $PATH variable?/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/
mysql/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
Why does it say on line 2 FATAL?
should it be
/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql*/bin: etc etc
Jerry Stuckle
It fails because //libexec, etc. are invalid directories. You need to
figure out why that is. I didn't install your system, so I have no idea
what you did (on Linux, I use the Linux distribution's installer to
install MySQL).

I'm going to try it from the installer. Last time I did it from the
installer I didn't get the command line but it came installed that way
from Apple. Maybe the installer for Mac will work.
