check the permission of /tmp folder.
I think mysql user can not access that dir:
I agree. At least a couple of Mac OS X updates improperly restrict permissions on /tmp.
chmod 777 /tmp
Don't do that. It's not safe. You need the sticky bit set so one user can't clobber another user's files. Instead, run
sudo chmod 1777 /tmp

I am trying to install MySql on MAC OS X. After the pkg is installed I am not able to start the MySql server due to the Socket error.

Now, when I check the /tmp folder I see that there is no file by that name 'mysql.sock'.
Has anyone faced a similar problem?
Thanks, Mustafa.
