I do the usual and get:

[angaqok:~] isuma% fink install mysql
sudo /sw/bin/fink install mysql

Following a previous post, I checked "fink info mysql" and I got the following:

[angaqok:~] isuma% sudo mysqladmin -u root -h localhost -p password XXXXXX
Enter password: XXXXXX
mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists!

when I check /tmp, the file "mysql.sock" is not there.

Any hints as to what I could do to correct this?

Thank you in advance!!!
