I am trying to start mysql and I keep getting the following error. There is no other server or anything else using port 1000. I have checked netstat and the port is not active.

I do: /usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install::DBD::mysql' and it complains because the server isn't running. I actually am having this problem also on a system running mysql Ver 14.7 Distrib 4.1.10, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) It will not sucessfully install the perl bundle there. I have run into these problems several times in the past, and eventually tried everything I have tried today, and something usually breaks it loose...but I have had no luck for several days now. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
