I'm trying to install MySQL 4.0.16 from the source on Jaguar. It reports "no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH"

I assume that OS X comes with a C compiler, but it has to be added to root's path. How do I do this?

Install the developer tools.

Look in /Applications/Installers

What's in there?

I have installed, but don't quite understand how to create a database. I keep getting

ERROR 1044: Access denied for user: '@localhost' to database 'mitch_db'

I have set the root account, but it just doens't work. It's like I'm missing one important step

That is refering to the root account in mysql which is not the same as a Mac OS X root account. Here is a link http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/ that will provide you with packages, directions, etc.

The first thing you need to do is creat a root user and password.

On Linus it is:

mysqladmin -u root password 'somepassword'

then you can log into mySQL:

mysql -u root -p

and it will prompt you for that password...
