MAKEFLAGS: -j4
Error: Failed executing: cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.5.20 -DMYSQL_DATADIR=/usr/local/var/mysql -DINSTALL_MANDIR=/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.5.20/share/man -DINSTALL_DOCDIR=/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.5.20/share/doc/mysql -DINSTALL_INFODIR=/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.5.20/share/info -DINSTALL_MYSQLSHAREDIR=share/mysql -DWITH_SSL=yes -DDEFAULT_CHARSET=utf8 -DDEFAULT_COLLATION=utf8_general_ci -DSYSCONFDIR=/usr/local/etc -DWITH_UNIT_TESTS=OFF -DWITH_READLINE=yes (mysql.rb:77)

    after posting on the homebrew github issues:https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/11762

    here is how I fixed the issue:

    cd /usr/local
    brew uninstall cmake
    git checkout 948c2769 Library/Formula/cmake.rb
    brew install mysql
