hi all, here is the suituation
i've installed mysql4.1.14 under the /usr/local directory. the problem
is, the server can work properly, however, mysqladmin doesn't. i
posted it yesterday, and someone suggested me to issue the following
command, however the same error 111 occured.

#mysqladmin -uroot password mypwd
#error: can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock'(111)

but, the server is *really* running. 
#ps -e | grep mysqld shows mysqld_safe and several other mysqld threads.

i'm wodering if mysqladmin requires parsing some .rc files(if any) or
interpreting some environment variables(if any) but they have wrong
settings or values?

any hits or help or advice would be most appreciated.
