Hello -
Yes, looks you've got two versions installed. One is in your PATH
(where UNIX looks for items by default), and one is not.
To remove your old version, execute 'whereis mysql' from your command
prompt and you will get the full path to the mysql version it knows
about and is running when you invoke 'mysql'.
Assuming you've got everything out of there you need, remove the
directory path you got from above. ** THIS WILL MAKE IT ALL GO AWAY;
TAKE CARE. NOTE YOUR DATABASES MIGHT STILL BE IN THERE!
Then, you can add the latest version of mysql to your PATH so you don't
have to type the full path every time. If you're using the bash shell
(default in 10.4), edit a file called ".profile" (no quotes) in your
home directory. Create it if it does not exist. Put this line in it:
export PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin
then open a new Terminal window and "mysql" should run OK.
Hope this helps.
