Ah, oki, if you are not root, it is ok, just change the
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
pid-file = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
to places where you got write permissions (in your my.cnf file).
I'm not very sure, but maybe you must recompile your source with a
parameter that sets the config directory too (else it tries to look
somewhere in /etc, where you surely got no permissions), maybe it is
best to set --prefix=/usr/home/mysql which might be sufficient (it is,
if after compiling there is a directory where my.cnf resides)
