Installing MySQL on Leopard
I ran into a surprising amount of trouble installing MySQL on Leopard. It turned out that there are a few bugs in the downloadable installer. I tried a few workarounds I found, but couldn't get any of them to work.
I found a great resource here that walks you step by step through compiling and installing MySQL on a Mac from the source code:

And it just worked!
The nice thing about this approach is that you can install any future version of MySQL this way very reliably, simply by changing a few references in the instructions.
