Ok, that worked. Thanks. I guess now my only question is is there something wrong with my environment since I have to type: "./bin/mysql -u root" instead of "mysql -u root"?

Your shell printed "root #". safe_mysqld (running in the background) printed the Starting... messages, followed by a newline. That puts the cursor on the next line. But your shell is still waiting for a new command. Just type it in. Or hit Enter a few times to see that the shell is waiting for input.
