UPDATE: these instruction might not be good to follow for now since even though it compiled and installed things are not happy at the moment.
$ /opt/local/bin/client/drizzletest
drizzletest: Could not open connection 'default' after 500 attempts: 21 drizzle_state_connect:could not connect
not ok
also there is better info here maybe … should have done more research fist before diving in head first i guess … oh well only way to learn is the hard way :-/
so i felt like installing drizzle the other day to check it out which as you might know is currently being developed by some people from mysql as a modern web savy simple open database …
here’s what i did to get it working … YMMV
looking at their page it seems deceptivly simple , but you may need a few key ingredients first.
if u don’t want the whole story, jump to the bottom for the short story , quick install …
ok so a quick search on macports turns up nothing …
$ port search drizzle
so it looks like we have to build ourselves but we can still use ports for deps
but we start first from the instructions on the site ->
$ bzr branch lp:drizzle ; cd drizzle; ./config/autorun.sh ; ./configure && make
-bash: bzr: command not found
-bash: cd: drizzle: No such file or directory
-bash: ./config/autorun.sh: No such file or directory
-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
ok missing bzr
$ port search bzr
...
bzr @1.13.1 (devel, python)
The next-generation distributed version control system
btw, you want bzr not bazaar
$ sudo port install bzr
ok now to try their cmd again …
$ bzr branch lp:drizzle ; cd drizzle; ./config/autorun.sh ; ./configure && make

checking for libprotobuf... no
configure: error: protobuf is required for Drizzle. On Debian this can be found in libprotobuf-dev. On RedHat this can be found in protobuf-devel.
so we got a bit of a problem again … but at least we have the src downloaded
now and a clue to the build problems at hand. so again we turn to macports.
$ port search protobuf
...
protobuf-c @0.6 (devel)
Pure C code generator and runtime libraries for Protocol Buffers
now we install protobuf-c which also gets protobuf-cpp , these are google protocol buffers.
$ sudo port install protobuf-c
ok so now we should just need to run the last half of the original cmds without fetching the bzr src again.
$ ./config/autorun.sh ; ./configure && make
...
checking for libprotobuf... no
configure: error: protobuf is required for Drizzle. On Debian this can be found in libprotobuf-dev. On RedHat this can be found in protobuf-devel.
still a damn protobuf error … hmm quick google search with the handy grease monkey script and i have the answer. it doesn’t know where to look for protobuf so we just have to tell it.
$ ./config/autorun.sh ; ./configure --with-libprotbuf-prefix=/opt/local && make
didn’t quite work so we check the config help.
$ ./configure --help
By default, `make install' will install all the files in
`/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc. You can specify
an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix',
for instance `--prefix=$HOME'.
...
^^ thats good to know
…
—with-libprotobuf-prefix[=DIR] search for libprotobuf in DIR/include and DIR/lib
…
hmm so that should work, lets copy and paste to make sure we got it right and double check the path.
$ ./configure --with-libprotobuf-prefix=/opt/local/
ya that fixes protobuf but now we have another problem ..
checking for libdrizzle... no
configure: error: libdrizzle is required for Drizzle
WTF??? ok its got to be somewhere …
$ locate libdrizzle
$ sudo find / -iname *libdrizzle*
/Users/pjkix/src/drizzle/plugin/oldlibdrizzle
/Users/pjkix/src/drizzle/plugin/oldlibdrizzle/libdrizzle.cc
/Users/pjkix/src/drizzle/plugin/oldlibdrizzle/libdrizzle.h
/Users/pjkix/src/drizzle/plugin/oldlibdrizzle/libdrizzle_priv.cc

/Users/pjkix/src/drizzle/plugin/oldlibdrizzle/oldlibdrizzle.cc
/Users/pjkix/src/drizzle/plugin/oldlibdrizzle/oldlibdrizzle.h
now i’m kinda stumped … turns out libdrizzle is seperate from drizzle … kinda odd since mysql src builds lib and client at the same time
as it turns out there are quite a few drizzle related projects as well.
ok so now on to building libdrizzle. least we didn’t install bzr for nothing
$ cd ..
$ bzr branch lp:libdrizzle

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libraries have been installed in:
/usr/local/lib
If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the `DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

probably should have installed that in /opt oh well …
ok finally now back to install drizzle ….
PJKix-Laptop:libdrizzle pjkix$ cd ..
PJKix-Laptop:src pjkix$ cd drizzle/
PJKix-Laptop:drizzle pjkix$ ./configure --with-libprotobuf-prefix=/opt/local/ ; make && sudo make install

checking for libpcre... no
configure: error: libpcre is required for Drizzle. On Debian this can be found in libpcre3-dev. On RedHat this can be found in pcre-devel.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
ungh more errors … its never simple eh? ok lets take care of pcre now.
PJKix-Laptop:drizzle pjkix$ port search pcre
...
pcre @7.8 (devel)
Perl Compatible Regular Expressions Library
...
PJKix-Laptop:drizzle pjkix$ sudo port install pcre;
good that was easy.
PJKix-Laptop:drizzle pjkix$ ./configure --help
—with-lib-prefix[=DIR] search for libraries in DIR/include and DIR/lib
just to be sure no more unfound libs we switch to lib path instead to take care of all libs
PJKix-Laptop:drizzle pjkix$ ./configure --with-lib-prefix=/opt/local --prefix=/opt/local ; make && sudo make install

$ drizzled
drizzled drizzled_safe drizzledumpslow
PJKix-Laptop:drizzle pjkix$ drizzled --version
drizzled Ver 2009.04.998 for apple-darwin9.6.0 on i386 (Source distribution)
Quick Intstall
easy way would probably be to follow these steps. hopefully you are already using the awesome macports and have xcode tools installed.
$ sudo port install bzr protobuf-c pcre
$ cd src
$ bzr branch lp:libdrizzle
$ cd libdrizzle
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/local && make && sudo make install
$ cd ..
$ bzr branch lp:drizzle
$ cd drizzle
$ ./config/autorun.sh
$ ./configure --with-lib-prefix=/opt/local --prefix=/opt/local && make && sudo make install
have fun playing with drizzle 
LOL —disable-fail Turn warnings into failures [default=on]
