I’ve been having some difficulties trying to uninstall MySQL on snow leopard (I wanted to remove the 32bits version to install the 64bits one)…The old instructions, located here are mostly good, however there is a slight difference (that makes the whole thing… not working!) and it’s in the location of the installer receipts…First you need to go to: /Library/Receipts and look for a file named “InstallHistory.plist”… It’s just a regular property list… Open it and look for the MySQL entry, and delete it…I thought I was good to go after that but… no! The MySQL Installer still says I have a newer version on my system… Thing is, the receipts are actually located in a different place on Snow Leopard… The answer: /private/var/db/receipts/There should be 2 mysql related receipts located there… Delete them, and you should be good to go!
