Hi, Joshua
Thanks for getting back to me. I see I've been a bit verbose - my core
question was: " can I tell the install script that MySQL now lives at
/opt/lampp/bin/mysql". Is there a way to change the install script in
this regard?
Hmmm...so the issue you're having is that the installer doesn't realize
that MySQL is, in fact, installed? Sorry if I'm being dense, but I'm not
sure why that would matter :-)


Hi Alan,

so, before you run the install.pl

what does a 'which mysql'  show you?.
and have you tried adding '/opt/lampp/bin/' to your PATH 

like this...
export PATH=/opt/lampp/bin/:$PATH

then checking your path, like this...
export | grep PATH

then running 'which mysql', which should hopefully reply...
/opt/lampp/bin/mysql

that should do it :)


Cheers, Mason
