ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can"t connect to local MySQL server through socket "/tmp/mysql.sock" (2)

Hello, I installed MySQL 4.1.10 on Debian Ubuntu based following these
directions:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/installing-binary.html
I then logged in, changed root password, used test database, etc.

Now after reboot I cannot connect. I get this:

root@mycomputer:/usr/local/mysql/bin # ./mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

Please give options if this involves: manual server start, setting up
autostart, etc.
Thanks

The socket hets created when you start the server
It might be in the mysql home dir, it might be in /var/run.
See if its declared in my.cnf
