Older version of mysql starting up after Mavericks upgrade

Hi,

This isn't a macports-installed MySQL. Even when you configure MacPorts to use
/usr/local (which is hard to do for a good reason) MacPorts would never have
created a directory called "mysql-5.6.10-osx10.7-x86_64" there.

I suggest you install the mysql56 (and the mysql56-server) port from MacPorts
and remove the copy in /usr/local. To make it the default and start it
automatically on system boot run
 $> sudo port select --set mysql mysql56
 $> sudo port load mysql56-server

In that case you probably didn't agree to the Xcode license agreement. Run
 $> sudo xcodebuild -license
to take care of that.

MacPorts 2.3 will contain a check that will detect this.
