In precedenza avevo installato mysql-5.1.50-osx10.6-x86_64.dmg e poi disinstallato usando il comando seguente (trovato su Stack Overflow):
$ sudo rm /usr/local/mysql
$ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mysql*
$ sudo rm -rf Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM
$ sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/My*
$ rm -rf ~/Library/PreferencePanes/My*
$ sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/mysql*
$ sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/MySQL*
$ sudo vi /etc/hostconfig
$ sudo rm -rf /var/db/receipts/com.mysql.mysql*
$ cd /Library/Receipts/
Quindi ho provato a reinstallare da mysql-5.5.9-osx10.6-x86_64.dmg.
Tuttavia ricevo il seguente errore:
The installation failed
The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
