tried moving it there, but it still keeps looking at
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock.

YES! It looks like someone else did install it from packages. I just ran:
[root@oddjob midgard-data-1.4.1-5]# rpm -qa | egrep '(mysql)'
mysql-server-3.23.22-6
mysql-devel-3.23.22-6
How do i uninstall this? i tried:
[root@oddjob /]# rpm -e '(mysql-devel)'
error: package (mysql-devel) is not installed
[root@oddjob /]# rpm -e '(mysql-server)'
error: package (mysql-server) is not installed
