I'm not sure if anyone else has tried to install or use Mysql after upgrading or installing Leopard. Russ Johnson of Angry-Fly.com posted a wonderful short bit of information as to why and how to resolve the problem. It does work, but the Preferences Pane mysql start and stop feature will still not work. Without getting too technical you'll need to start and stop mysql from the command line. Here are the necessary steps to resolve the problem. (Original Post):
Simply type these commands in order to fix it.
1. sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/safe_mysqld
2. (in a new terminal window) sudo mkdir /var/mysql/
3. sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock
If followed correctly you should now be able to type sudo 'mysql path'/mysql and start the command line executable. I'm not sure if it will help applications like Navicat, etc.
Good luck
