Matt, I'm fairly new to MySQL myself, but it sounds like your
mysqld is not starting up when you issue safe_mysqld. Instead
of invoking safe_mysqld directly, find the "mysql.server" file that
got installed with mysql, and start mysqld with that by doing
something like:
cd /dir/to/mysql.serve
There'll be a .err file in your ~mysql/var directory - have a
look at it, and it should give you a pointer as to the precise problem.
