Homebrew And MySQL
I’ve been using MacPorts and I needed to install clojure. The one on MacPorts
is old and Gavin Stark told me I should use Homebrew and get rid of MacPorts
because it’s not up to date on a lot of stuff and suggested I start with a
pristine /usr/local
directory. So I blew away my MacPorts directory /opt
and /usr/local
and used installed mysql
and postgresql
. The only tricky
part was that my MySQL Preference Pane is expecting to see /usr/local/mysql
.
I just symlinked that to current version of mysql
and everything is back to normal. This may be a problem if I upgrade in the
future. I may fix this by removing the symlink and make it into a real
directory and symlinking the individual bin commands from
/usr/local/mysql/bin
to /usr/local/mysql/bin
