Using Hivelogic MySQL again after installing Homebrew

I previously installed mysql using the Hivelogic compilation method.

Then I installed Homeb开发者_JAVA百科rew. Which broke it. Here's why.

As it says in Installing to /usr/local for Developers, homebrew chowns everything under /usr/local to your user. MySQL uses the mysql user - bringing incompatibility.

sudo chown -R /usr/local/mysql /usr/local/mysql/* for the win.
