Description:
After installing from the tar packages, following exactly the description delivered in the file "INSTALL-BINARY", the connection to the db isn't possible.

Try to start in Terminal: Error 

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

G5:mysql root# bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
[1] 4139
G5:mysql root# 080208 00:14:18 mysqld_safe Logging to '/usr/local/mysql/data/G5.local.err'.
080208 00:14:18 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data
080208 00:14:21 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /usr/local/mysql/data/G5.local.pid ended

Try to start via MySQL Administrator: "Error: Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1'(61) (code2003)"

Is there the possibility to provide a complete .pkg like in previous version, preventing to much confusion while installing (there is also a windows installer, there WAS a mac installer for 5.0 versions as well..) ??

How to repeat:
installing from the tar packages 

"mysql-5.1.22-rc-osx10.4-powerpc.tar.gz"

following exactly the description delivered in the file "INSTALL-BINARY"

making sure the path variable is set correctly
using root privileges to set permission rights
restart to make changes take effect
