I downloaded the following file from mysql.com.

mysql-3.23.47-sun-solaris2.8-sparc.tar

I untarred it into /mysql, then I have the following
files.

Look here:

# ls
bin include scripts sql-bench tests
data lib share support-files
# 

Then I went into /mysql/bin and tried running mysql
like so:

# mysql
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server
through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
# 

And I get the error message shown above.  What should
I do to set it up?

Thanks.

Jack
