I guess the mysqld is already running on port 3306(default port). I aldo had the same
problem.
The solution is
shell> MYSQL_UNIX_PORT=/tmp/mysqld-new.sock
shell> MYSQL_TCP_PORT=3307
shell> export MYSQL_UNIX_PORT MYSQL_TCP_PORT
shell> scripts/mysql_install_db
shell> bin/safe_mysqld &
It is given in 4.17 Installing many servers on the same machine
You have to use the different port this time because port 3306 is already being used.
