I'm trying to upgrade my local version (on mac) of mysql in order to meet the requirements to work with Magento.
IM using the magento-check.php and it's saying my mysql version isn't up to date. Under failed it says "you need MySQL 4.1.20 (or greater)"
However if I run
<?php printf("MySQL server version: %s\n", mysql_get_server_info()); ?>
I get MySQL server version: 5.6.15.
Any ideas on wants going on here?

Assuming you're using the Magento Check script located here, take a look at how Magento performs its mysql tests
#File: magento-check.php
preg_match('/[0-9]\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+/', shell_exec('mysql -V'), $version);
They're running a shell_exec('mysql -V') shell command via PHP to view the version of mysql you're using. My guess if your OS X system doesn't have the mysql client in it's path, so this script thinks you have no MySQL installed.
Using the CLI client to check mysql versions is a little bananas — but I guess it works enough Your version of MySQL looks fine. The only problem you might run into is if you're using an older version of Magento, the installer's INNODB detection is broken for MySQL 5.6 and above. This bug has been fixed in the latest 1.x community edition releases.
