Ok,
I got the everything working along with FrontBase support in PHP4 also. I followed the instructions at
http://homepage.mac.com/LightyearDesign/MacOSX/ and everything is working so far.
MySQL is running a lot better that the preconiled version posted in this forum.
You have to be patient even on on a G4/400 with 312 MB of ram it took a looooooonnnnnggg time to compile MySQL, while everything else went pretty quickly.
I do wish that we were using a stable version of MySQL but it is good for all the basics.
