MySQL pid ended (cannot start mysql)

Question

I have the same problem when installing mysql newest version mysql-5.6.10-osx10.7-x86.dmg for my MAC OS 10.7.5. Following is my solutions.
First , delete the mysql installed

sudo rm /usr/local/mysql
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM
sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/My*
sudo rm -rf ~/Library/PreferencePanes/My*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/MySQL*
sudo rm -rf /var/db/receipts/com.mysql.*

Then, get mysql-5.1.68-osx10.6-x86.dmg , install this old version, and done!
