So far this has been a discouraging project.

Thank you for the feedback.

We need exact name of file you downloaded and accurate version of your operating system. I assume this is 64-bit Snow Leopard.

This relates to EOL (no longer supported) versions of MySQL Server. Furthermore, both Mac OS X and the MySQL packaging on OS X have gone a long way since this was reported. Thus closing.
