mysql.sock

["Lawrence, Michael" <MLawrence () soroc com>]

I have a fresh install of Slackware 9.1. Installed Mysql with the install of
the OS. When attempting to start mysqld, I receive an error stating it can
not connect to /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. When I searched for mysql.sock, it
is not on the system. How do I go about creating mysql.sock?
