Michael: I solved it just before you sent this message, and it was #2! Thanks just the same, Michael S.

Usually, this happens for one of two reasons: 1) mysqld is already running, so there's already a socket. 2) mysql doesn't have permission to write to /tmp. As you've eliminated #1, #2 is the likely problem. If so, you'll need to fix that. Run chmod 1777 /tmp as root (or with sudo).
