OK ... another thing that I see frequently when dealing with this issue is the location of localhost in your /etc/hosts file ... don't ask me why, but it sometimes matters. Put the localhost name first in the line, like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost xxxxx yyyy.yyy
I've seen this cause many problems with other tools as well (not just mysql). I always thought it was wrong to include the actual hostname in the localhost line, and it's one of the first thing I change after building a system. Does any one else think it's a good idea to include the hostname in this line?
