Getting MYSQL running properly in OS X Mavericks

Question

I have mysql isntalled for the purpose of running "MailSteward Pro". The preference pane that turns the mysql server on/off isn't turning the server on anymore after moving up from Mountain Lion. I removed mysql using these instructions:
Use mysqldump to backup your databases to text files!
Stop the database server
sudo rm /usr/local/mysql
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM
sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/My*
edit /etc/hostconfig and remove the line MYSQLCOM=-YES-
rm -rf ~/Library/PreferencePanes/My*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/MySQL*
sudo rm -rf /private/var/db/receipts/*mysql*
Then I ran the installers using the script bash <(curl -Ls http://git.io/eUx7rg).
At the end, you can see where it still won't run... and I don't have much command line experience - not sure what to do here.

Please see my User Tip about getting MySQL running on Lion. I haven't had a chance to test it in Mavericks, but I don't think anything has changed. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3082
Basically, that stuff from MySQL was obsolete even when Lion was released.
