I have installed MySQL via homebrew: brew install mysql. I'd like to get the MySQL preference pane hooked up to my installation of MySQL through homebrew. How can I achieve this?

You might get a better audience over at superuser.com - it's more geared to ports and MySQL and yes, homebrew is a program to help port things to mac, but to MySql and the preference panel are general to all OS and not mac-specific.– bmike ♦Commented May 9, 2011 at 19:27

I agree that you might want to try this question over at SU. Also, consider installing MAMP (mamp.info) instead -- it's a "friendlier" way to get MySQL running on your Mac (along with Apache and PHP).– AustinCommented May 9, 2011 at 20:06

@Austin I will not be using MAMP as I do not need apache and php. I just need MySQL.– DerekCommented May 9, 2011 at 20:46

You could just think of it as "updating" Apache and PHP, since your Mac comes with both anyway. You could be rocking a working MySQL installation in less than five minutes. Up to you, though.– AustinCommented May 9, 2011 at 20:52

My understanding is that you can't get the MySQL Preference Pane via homebrew. But if you download the 64-bit DMG file from MySQL's community server download page, it includes an installer, preference pane, and startup script.
