How to install MySQL 4.1.1 Alphas on OS X

Please remember that MySQL is a good database only when you have legacy concerns (existing software or brainspace). If you're looking for a much better database for new installations, use PostgreSQL instead. PostgreSQL is truly free (no special license if you want to use it commercially), truly ACID compliant, comparable in speed for similar applications, and is more or less "Oracle without the price".

There's even a Fink package to install it directly.
