mysqld.sock path problem

[Michael Griego]

Usually, applications just use whatever the installed libraries have for 
the default mysqld.sock location.  It would seem that you installed 
MySQL 4.1.12 from mysql.com but you still have the distribution mysql 
libraries lying around.  The distro libraries are using 
/var/run/mysql/mysqld.sock while the mysql.com libaries/binaries use 
/tmp/mysqld.sock by default.  You should probably uninstall the distro 
libraries if you're going to use the mysql.com binaries.  FreeRADIUS 
seems to be linked against the distro libraries, which are likely older 
than the ones you got from mysql.com.
