Newer version of mysql exists error while installing on Mac OS

I was reinstalling my mac machine and wanted to install my goodies [PHP, Apache, MySQL] on it and I come up with the newer version error when i try to install mysql.
here is what I gather from different sites and blogs:
Go to the terminal and issue these commands
sudo rm /usr/local/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM
sudo rm -rf /Library/PreferencePanes/My*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/mysql*
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/MySQL*
sudo rm /etc/my.cnf
sudo rm -rf /var/db/receipts/com.mysql.*

This has taken care of the error for me
