Here is the command and error message:

/usr/local/mysql-5.0.82-osx10.5-powerpc/bin/safe_mysqld: line 204:
my_print_defaults: command not found
The file /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld doesn't exist or is not
executable
Please do a cd to the mysql installation directory and restart
this script from there as follows:
./bin/mysqld_safe.
See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/mysqld-safe.html for more
information

so should I add this to my environment variable or $path?
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:
$PATH"
PATH=$PATH:/path/to/mysql*/bin/

the mysql executable is in the /bin/ directory but it doesn't fire.
thankx,



The mysql really need be in the path? With the above message from
the program, you can try to see the result:

cd to_your_sqldir # not bin, ok!?
../bin/mysqld_safe.
