MAC -> Drush higher bootstrap level?

Since a couple of days now, i switched from a ubuntu machine to a macbook pro retina for my development works.

I installed XAMPP on it, without to much trouble. But I have been struggeling with drush for quite some time now, and I am hoping to find a little help here.

Drush partially works... I can download Drupal, download modules etc. I CANNOT enable the modules, perform sql-cli commands (however sql-connect DOES work?!).

The error i get is:

Command pm-enable needs a higher bootstrap level to run - you will need to invoke drush from a more functional Drupal environment to run this command.                                           [error]
The drush command 'en token' could not be executed.                                                                                                                                              [error]
Drush was not able to start (bootstrap) the Drupal database.                                                                                                                                     [error]
Hint: This may occur when Drush is trying to:
 * bootstrap a site that has not been installed or does not have a configured database. In this case you can select another site with a working database setup by specifying the URI to use with
the --uri parameter on the command line. See `drush topic docs-aliases` for details.
 * connect the database through a socket. The socket file may be wrong or the php-cli may have no access to it in a jailed shell. See http://drupal.org/node/1428638 for details.

Drush was attempting to connect to: 
 Drupal version         :  7.28

 Drush configuration    :                                                                                
 Drush alias files      :                                                                                
 Drupal root            :  /Applications/XAMPP/htdocs/drupal_site                                           
 Site path              :  sites/default      

Now I have been googling around for this for days and found numerous topics, stating all kinds of things (change your settings.php file to use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost => did not work)

One thing i would like to add is that i discovered that my OS runs a different php version as the XAMPP instance?!

Ps: My drupal_site is fully functional! Just drush won't work with me.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Best,

Guardian
