trouble installing mysql

Trying to follow this tutorial, but my installation of mysql is failing.

After getting to the last line(launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.mysql.mysqld.plist), I get the following error:

launchctl:
 CFURLWriteDataAndPropertiesToResource
  (/var/db/launchd.db/com.apple.launchd.peruser.501/overrides.plist) failed: -10

It is worth noting that I originally had an error for the second to last line:

cp /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.5.15/com.mysql.mysqld.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/

but I noticed I did not have a /5.5.15/ folder, instead I had a /5.5.14/, which I used instead.

Also, I am only following the mySql part of the tutorial, the rest I had already done.

Incase it is relevant, I have used MAMP on this machine, but have shut it down and restarted to no avail.

That error seems to indicate a permissions problem. Your homebrew installation might be a bit messed up. I'd try uninstalling mysql via homebrew via "brew uninstall mysql" and then removing homebrew entirely and reinstalling. You could also try running this script to fix the permissions. If that doesn't work, I'd uninstall and reinstall.
