Snow Leopard experience part 2
The Mysql Preference Pane
When I installed MySql Server on my Mac,it created a symbolic link from /usr/local/mysql-5.1.33-osx10.5-x86 to /usr/local/mysql so I could just add /usr/local/mysql/bin to my PATH. After the Snow Leopard upgrade, that symbolic link disappeared as did a few others. This caused the MySql pref pane to be unable to find the mysqladmin command. Recreating that symbolic link allowed the pref pane to work again.
Upgrading to the 64bit version of mysql is really the way to go. The x86_64 version of Mysql doesn't appear to come a 64bit preference pane, but one is available here.
