MySQL Admin *not* searching/finding config files other than /etc/my.cnf

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: RIPEMD160

i've installed MySQL Administrator 1.1.10 on OSX 10.4.6.

seems to run fine, and i can make connections ok.

iiuc, MySQL Administrator is *supposed* to search for my.cnf in
following order:

	/etc/my.cnf 	Global options
	$MYSQL_HOME/my.cnf 	Server-specific options
	defaults-extra-file 	The file specified with
- --defaults-extra-file=path, if any
	~/.my.cnf 	User-specific options

on my sys, i've NO /etc/my.cnf.

my mysql is config'd/built with:

	./configure \
	--prefix=/usr/local/mysql \
	--sysconfdir=/var/Conf/MySQL \
	...

my my.cnf exists as:

	/var/Conf/MySQL/my.cnf

and is correctly found/read on server launch.

finally, $MYSQL_HOME *is* correcly set as:

	/var/Conf/MySQL

but, on MySQL Administrator launch, selecting the "Options" tab, i'm
notified that "/etc/my.cnf" is not found, and presented with the option
to Cancel/Create.

i.e., the GUI's *not* finding the "/var/Conf/MySQL/my.cnf" ...


if i "ln -sf $MYSQL_HOME/my.cnf" to "/etc/my.cnf", all is well.

how do i get MySQL Admin to 'honor' the location of my settings/options
file?

thx!

richard
