请帮忙看一下安装mysql问题？？？

[weixin_38061328]

小弟学习在一台sunblade 2000工作站上（solaris9）安装mysql，在mysql
的网站上下载了mysql-standard-4.0.20-sun-solaris2.9-sparc-64bit.tar.gz
按照上面的INSTALL-BINARY安装，开始都没有问题，到了scripts/mysql_install_db这步，提示
Installing all prepared tables
040622 21:58:22  ./bin/mysqld: Shutdown Complete
然后设置密码的时候./bin/mysqladmin -u root password xxxl
./bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists!

请大侠们给点指点，不胜感谢啊
