does /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock exist?
what's it's permissions (do a ls -l)?

if it doesn't exist in the above location do this:

find / -name mysql.sock -print 2> /dev/null

Now if you find the socket but it's in a different location, you can link it. If it's not found on your system you prob didn't install the client (I think the client creates the socket).
