I ran netstat with -an grepping for port 3306.  It found it:

bullet ~ # netstat -an | grep 3306
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:3306          0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN


so I grepp'd netstat for mysql:

bullet ~ # netstat | grep 'mysql'
unix  3      [ ]         STREAM     CONNECTING
0      /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

It was running, so I tried using the mysql client:

bullet ~ # mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
bullet ~ #

I don't understand this...
