Can't get magento installed on my mac

I'm trying to install Magento CE 1.7.0.2 on Mountain Lion 10.8

I'm able to do it using MAMP, but the problem is I need to move my database files to a different location and MAMP does not allow this.

I switch to a clean install of Mountain Lion, and used homebrew to install mcrypt.

I got everything pretty much enabled, but when I run the domain/magento-check.php file to make sure I meet the requirements, I get a garbled php output.

Here is what I'm seeing. Anyone know what might be the cause of this?

Thanks.

Problem with magento-check.php is that the opening tag is <? rather than <?php - just fix that and you will be able to run magento-check.php just fine.

I ended up just using MAMP, but moving the mysql directory to a new location and doing a symlink to that location. Seems to have done the trick.
