Need help to Uninstall MySQL 5.0 on OSX

Recommended Posts

I have installed MySQL (5.0.27) on OSX [10.4.8].  I ran into of host of problems trying to get it to communicate with Drupal.  I have likely made some installing errors.  So, now that I know how to install it correctly, I would like to completly uninstall MySQl to start fresh. 

Can one completely uninstall MySQL? Or do I need to re-install the entire OS X operating system?

Here is my latest error message

"ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)"

So then I try

"sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe"

And I get...

"touch: /var/lib/mysql/dsl081-038-074.lax1.dsl.speakeasy.net.err: No such file or directory
chown: /var/lib/mysql/dsl081-038-074.lax1.dsl.speakeasy.net.err: No such file or directory
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
./bin/mysqld_safe: line 379: /var/lib/mysql/[my address].err: No such file or directory
./bin/mysqld_safe: line 1: /var/lib/mysql/[my address].err: No such file or directory
STOPPING server from pid file /var/lib/mysql/[my address].pid

070108 23:50:01 mysqld ended
tee: /var/lib/mysql/[my address].net.err: No such file or directory"

Is there any one out there who can understand this?  :-\
