Folks,
In the original post, Jason pointed out the configure
line used to build MySQL Client (./configure
--without-unix-socket-path --without-server)
also, pointed out the way he intends to use mysql
client (mysql -u root) so, he is trying to connect to
the database server using named pipes
($PATH_TO/mysql.sock) but that is not built into the
client itself (--without-unix-socket-path).
check this link....
