OK here is a brief history to my problem
Trying to install mysql on my Mac running X.2.6, to test my data driven web pages
Installed mySQL, problems
Deleted my SQL using Terminal with command
sudo rm -r /usr/local
Remade Local folder with command
cd /usr; sudo mkdir/Local
Tried reinstalling mySQL with no joy, I think it might be because there is a socket missing this because when I entered
cd/usr/local/mysql
I get
cd/usr/local/mysql: Command not found.
so I tried to find the folder the socket is meant to be placed (according to text file)
[pc-80-192-43-109-st:~] grant% open /ect/
No such file: /ect/
So my question is there a way I can completely start again, thus remove any trace of the app without having to reinstall my system?

Did you create /usr/Local or /usr/local? The command line is case sensitive.

/usr/local/ is used for a lot more than just mysql. I'd suggest doing a clean OS install on a spare partition, then copy over the full /usr/local/ folder. Finally, reset permissions via Disk Utility.

There's nothing in /usr/local/ with a default OS install.

Unless that's a typo, it's /etc, not /ect.

Many of us crazy ones do not have a default OS install.

True, but reinstalling the OS won't fix any extras that you may have added to /usr/local since there's nothing from Apple that goes in there.

assuming you did a copy of that error message, then _one_ problem is that you need a space after cd...

That's not a default install of OS X. OS X does not ship with mysql, maybe Server does but not Client.
On my three different Macs, /usr/local/ is empty.

/usr/local contains installed UNIX tools. (Stuff you compiled and then used a make install on.)

Right, which proves my point. The Mac OS X installer does not place anything in /usr/local/, therefore reinstalling OS X will not solve the original poster's problem.
