Fail to run MySQL in Mac OSX 10.5.8

my mac is a powerPC. and I have tried both 64 bit and 32 bit version of MySQL.

Both return me "bad CPU type in executable" when I try to do this /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql

I followed all the steps as specified in the mysql official website.

Solution

  • MySQL dropped support for PowerPC in version 5.1.40

    The last version 5.1.40 can be found here
