Mysql command not found in OS X 10.7

I cant get my mysql to start on os x 10.7. It is located in `/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql` I get command not found when I type `mysql --version` in the terminal. I tried this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8195418/cant-access-mysql-from-command-line-mac but still get command not found. I tried installing mysql with the dmg and i have tried to install it through homebrew and I cant get it to work. When I try to start mysql with homebrew I get https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10576743/mysql-wont-start/10576831#10576831 This is my `$PATH`: > /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/Users/Victoria/bin:/usr/local//usr/local/mysql/bin/private/var/mysql/private/var/mysql/bin
