mysql would not start: missing mysql.sock

I recently installed mysql-standard-5.0.21-solaris9-sparc-64bit.pkg on a Solaris 9 machine (SunOS 5.9 Generic_118558-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250). The package installation went very smooth, however, starting mysql is a different story. I get the message below everytime I try to start mysql:

# mysql start
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

According to pkginfo -l, the installation was successful:

# uname -a
SunOS <hostname> 5.9 Generic_118558-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250
# pkginfo -l mysql
PKGINST: mysql
NAME: MySQL Community Edition - Standard (GPL)
CATEGORY: application

VERSION: 5.0.21
BASEDIR: /opt/mysql

I also did a find on mysql.sock, and I came up with nothing. Any ideas? I would really appreciate any help or advise Smilie
