 Check out this site:
 
 http://www.entropy.ch/software/MacOSx/mysql/
 
 especially the forums.  I remember some issue about the way the tmp/
 directory is used.  It is a directory that is used by a number of
 applications for temporary files and there are issues related to
 linking to it and automatically deleting files.  I wish I understood
 this adequately to explain it myself, but I think you will find some
 info  on this site to help you.  I had some trouble at first getting
 things working and since then it has all been so stable that I forgot
 the original issues.
 
 Liyanage's site was at least once the gold standard for installing
 mysql on a Mac.
