" It's no wonder very few ever use mysql..." -- nice bash there Karl.
Maybe would fit in a postgres forum better than here.
You could have followed my suggestion sent to you 7 hours ago to check
permissions on /var/run/mysqld ... and/or read the manual (it's in the
installation notes!) to learn that in fact mysql runs as a non-root
user.
Just two cents' worth from one of many who do use mysql, successfully
... 7 years and counting now.

I have burned another 2 hours but got mysqld to run and have version
5 up and running! I'm now ready to get back to views.
To get things running I had to manually make a directory
/var/run/mysqld/ and then change the owner to mysql. I ran mysqld_safe
and it made a mysqld.pif and is now running.
None of the above is in the referance manual. It's no wonder very
few ever use mysql...
