ensure that your mysqld is actually running. Then try running 'mysql
-hlocalhost -uroot' if it's a new install, or add '-p' at the end if you've set
a root password. Alternately, specify another user after -u.
That should help. I just figured this one out the other day... I had gone so
far as to install phpMyAdmin solely because I couldn't get the damn mysql client
to work.
Good Luck,
Ben
