mysqlcheck: Got error 202: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/home/qsys/mysql-5.1.32/temp/mysql.sock'

I am trying to set up MySQL on a GNU/Linux box with this script:cd /home/qsys gzip -cd /home/qsys/mysql-5.1.32.tar.gz | tar xf - mv /home/qsys/mysql-5.1.32 /home/qsys/mysql-5.1.32.source cd /home/qsys/mysql-5.1.32.source ./configure --prefix=/home/qsys/mysql-5.1.32 \

Fw: mysqlcheck: Got error 202: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/home/qsys/mysql-5.1.32/temp/mysql.sock'

--prefix=/home/qsys/mysql-5.1.32 \ --with-unix-socket-path=/home/qsys/mysql-5.1.32/tmp/mysql.sock make make install mkdir /home/qsys/mysql-5.1.32/var /home/qsys/mysql-5.1.32/bin/mysql_upgrade at this point I get mysqlcheck: Got error 202: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
