Cannot Start MySQL

[CM Miller <cmmiller1973 yahoo com>]

Running RH 7.3 and I can start the MySQL daemon but
when I try to login as a normal user, I have no luck. 

MySQL is located here 

/usr/local/MySQL/mysql.tgz/bin 

and I've added this to my path but when a user tries
to start it with 

./mysql 

I get the following error, 

Error 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server
through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111) 

Please help 

thanks

-Chris
