DOES ANYBODY HAVE A CLUE HOW TO GET THIS TO INSTALL ? [2009.22.06] 
(07:48AM)

In setting up a brand new machine:

I followed exactly : http://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/MAMP

Step 1: Turn off Apple's "Personal Web Sharing"
---> This went well (it wasn't on)...

Step 2: Install Apache
$ sudo port install apache2
---> This went well...

Step 3: Install MySQL
$ sudo port install mysql5-server
---> This did not go well...

TRY THE PRIMARY METHOD :
[2009.22.06](07:59AM) -> [roscoe] ~	 $ sudo -u mysql mysql_install_db5
Password:

FATAL ERROR: Could not find fill_help_tables.sql inside --basedir

When using --basedir you must point either into a MySQL binary
distribution directory or a compiled tree previously populated
by 'make install'


TRY THE ALTERNATE METHOD :
[2009.22.06](07:59AM) -> [roscoe] ~	 $ sudo mysql_install_db5

FATAL ERROR: Could not find fill_help_tables.sql inside --basedir

When using --basedir you must point either into a MySQL binary

by 'make install'

Any ideas ?
