I assume when you tried to start MySQL from the command line you used safe_mysqld. You may not be seeing the error messages that would tell you why it's not starting. Try starting mysql directly.
cd /usr/local/mysql
sudo ./bin/mysqld
You'll probably see an error message that is a bit more helpful.

I just downloaded and installed mysql 4.1.1 on a Macintosh G5, but I cannot get it to start up. I first tried manual startup using the unix commands as detailed in the manual. I kept getting the message mysql shutting down before I could hit ctl-Z. Then when I tried to connect, it stated:
"ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)"
I then tried installing the automatic startup routine, restarted the computer and running mysql and I get the same message.
