In using MySQLGui v 1.75, I get the following message when I try to
connect to the database:

    Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket "(111)

What can I do in addition to following the configuration for .my.sql
in MySQL.help?  I can access the database through the text based mysql
client just fine.

I downloaded the statically linked Linux binary, so making and
installing should not play a role.

Here is /etc/my.cnf:


[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
     
[mysql.server]
user=mysql
basedir=/var/lib

[safe_mysqld]
err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid


Here is ~/.my.cnf:

[client]
port            = 3306
host    = localhost
user    = xxxx

    
# This will be passed to MySQLGUI GUI client only
[client_fltk]
help_file=/usr/local/doc/MySQL.help
client_file=~/.ee/MySQL.options
queries_file=~/.mysql/.mysql_history
history_length=100
database=test


Any help you can offer would be appreciated.  A newsgroup of people
who are beta testng this software would be helpful.

thanks,
dion
