Thanks for the instructions, they helped me get up and running. I didn’t run into nearly as many problems though. I put together a short article on the steps I took too. Hopefully it can also be of service to someone! http://obscuredclarity.blogspot.com/2009/08/install-mysql-on-mac-os-x.html

I found that when I went to run .bash_login I got ‘Permission Denied’ A bit of poking around found that I didn’t have the right permissions.
Running:

chmod 755 ~/.bash_login

Sorted this out. Phew!

Yes, yes, yes. I’ve been trying to learn Ruby on Rails and have not been able to figure out this mysql part until now. Success!

Thanks very much for this great help.
