MySQL will not start Snow Leopard 10.6.5 (Fixed)

Hello,

I am trying to re-install MySQL after i did a clean upgrade to snow leopard the other day.

I downloaded Mac OS X ver. 10.6 (x86, 64-bit), DMG Archive (mysql-5.5.8-osx10.6-x86_64.dmg)
from: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/

I installed all three of the files inside:

- mysql-5.5.8-osx10.6-x86_64.pkg
- MySQLStartupItem.pkg
- MySQL.prefPane

They all installed fine but in the Preference Pane when trying to start MySQL nothing happens (after asking for my password)
If i try starting MySQL via termal using - sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start

I get this error:
"/usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server: line 256: my_print_defaults: command not found
Starting MySQL
ERROR! Couldn't find MySQL server (./bin/mysqld_safe)"

I have heard you need xcode but i do not have this installed.
Please can someone help me to get MySQL running.

Thank you

Eli
