I have problems to reinstall MySQL on Mac OS X after it was running on my system.
I uninstalled it because the PreferencePane wasn't working as expected, using the procedure described here: http://akrabat.com/computing/uninstalling-mysql-on-mac-os-x-leopard/
When trying to reinstall MySQL 5.5.27-community 64-bit version using the PKG-installer, it says "The installation failed"
Here are the complete logs of the installation:

As I see it, the problem is in the script preflight, because it fails with error 22: "Invalid argument". Here is the content of the script in case it helps
#!/bin/sh
#
# preflight - this script will be executed before the MySQL PKG
# installation will be performed.
#
# If this package has been compiled with a prefix ending with "mysql" (e.g.
# /usr/local/mysql or /opt/mysql), it will rename any previously existing
# directory with this name before installing the new package (which includes
# a symlink named "mysql", pointing to the newly installed directory, which
# is named mysql-<version>)
#
PREFIX="/usr/local/mysql"
BASENAME=`basename $PREFIX`
if [ -d $PREFIX -a ! -L $PREFIX -a $BASENAME = "mysql" ] ; then
mv $PREFIX $PREFIX.bak
fi
The error seems similar to the question posted in Re-install MySql in mac os x 10.6.6 but I have defined a user mysql as described in the answer, and my error is not "./postflight: chown: mysql: Invalid argument" exactly
If anyone knows an answer to this problem, I would be very thankfull.
