Mac OS 10.4.11 Drupal 6.1 latest mysql and php

After 5 hours of unsuccessfully trying to install drupal on my mac, I am about ready to give up.

terminal tells me mysql and php are running ok

but Drupal install fails on the 3rd stage database set up:

user warning: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') ORDER BY fit DESC LIMIT 0, 1' at line 1 query: SELECT * FROM menu_router WHERE path IN () ORDER BY fit DESC LIMIT 0, 1 in /Library/Documentation/Services/apache/drupal/includes/menu.inc on line 315.

I see about half a dozen other people have had this same issue ; someone suggested deleting the menu_router module.
However I can find no such module.

Hi,

Happy to attempt to help - though my only qualification may well be that I am running the same OS and have D6.1 running successfully.

In any case, I think more info might help anyone understand what's up.

Here's my setup:

OS: Mac OS 10.4.11
MAMP 1.6.1 with MySql 5.0.37
Apache HTTP_HOST localhost:8888
HTTP_USER_AGENT Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12
PHP 5.2.1

Are you using MAMP (http://www.mamp.info/en/index.php)? If not and you're not an old hand at running MySql on your Mac, you might try it. It vastly simplified using my Mac as a development environment!

Let me know your setup, and if I can, I'll try to duplicate the problem you are having.
