i suggest sticking to easy to install binaries if youre trying to build a development server.... http://serverlogistics.com/ <-- these guys have osx binaries that I use, easy to install....

Or you could use MySQL's binaries for Mac OS X
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/4.1.html

Your signature says you're running 10.3.7, which means that the account already exists. Don't worry about it, just install the binariy version that you find on www.mysql.com. To save you some trouble: use the 4.0x version, not the 4.1x version.

If you want to use the 4.1 or later versions you need to install PHP5, since you need the mysqli commands to access it. They changed the communication protocol for the client in 4.1 of MySQL...
