I had to move from MySQL 5.1.31 to 5.1.32 for development in work.

We remove MySQL as follows:

Uninstalling MySQL - (Mac - OS)
From a terminal do the following:

1. sudo rm /usr/local/mysql
2. sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mysql*
3. sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM
4. sudo rm -rf /Library/PreformancPanes/My*
5. Edit /etc/hostconfig - sudo vi /etc/hostconfig - Remove line MYSQLCOM=-YES
6. sudo rm -rf /Library/Reciepts/mysql*
7. sudo rm -rf /Library/Reciepts/MySQL*

This seems to do the job.

No problems when we install MySQL 5.1.32
