Make sure you setup a linux user named mysql.
chown -R mysql /usr/local/mysql ( or whatever )
chown -R mysql /var/mysql ( or whatever )
create ( if you don't have one ) /etc/my.cnf
Add the following two lines:
[mysqld]
user=mysql
chmod 744 /etc/my.cnf
mysql_install_db --user=mysql
Make sure that the directory that will contain the mysql.sock is world
readable and searchable.
It hangs because it can't read or write a critical file.
