I reinstalled MySQL using the "--with-unix-socket-path=/usr/local/mysql/mysql.sock" option in the configure string and mysql_config now returns the socket path correctly (I removed the socket option from the my.cnf). I guess mysql_config should always return the real path to the socket, that is the one from the installation files or the my.cnf (that should overwrite the default one). nrn6# /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config --socket /usr/local/mysql/mysql.sock Is it a bug?
