Well lets get it running<G>
Basic install nothing fancy
./configure
make
make install
to fix your error create a symlink
su to root
ln -s var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock
Cheers

Subject: mysql.sock error
I'm trying to start my first ever installation of mysql, so I've installed
the tar.gz (3.23.42 on Linux) and I've run ./configure from /mysqlhome when
I try to star the server I get the following message
Can't connect ot local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'
When I do a find I can't find the mysql.sock file anywhere on my server.
Any suggestions?
