Re: How do I uninstall MySQL from Mac OSX

[David Schwartz]

I installed MySQL several months ago as I was thinking of doing some MAMP development. I now find that MySQL could be causing problems with my system. Here's a few lines from my system.log.

===========

How do I get this to stop and get MySQL off my system? There are no uninstall directions. FYI, I've already deleted mysql from /usr/local. I just found a good number of files in /Users/david/src/mysql-5.0.45. Should I just remove this directory?

Thanks,

Any help would be appreciated.
