You built MySQL using pthreads instead of native threads. If you read the
documentation for MySQL (Section 4.9):
* MIT-pthreads doesn't support the AF_UNIX protocol used to
implement Unix sockets. This means that if you compile using
MIT-pthreads, all connections must be made using TCP/IP (which is
a little slower). If you find after building MySQL that you cannot
connect to the local server, it may be that your client is
attempting to connect to localhost using a Unix socket as the
default. Try making a TCP/IP connection with mysql by using a host
option (-h or --host) to specify the local host name explicitly.
Either compile w/native threads or use the -h flag.
