mysqld Command not found

Hi all,

I've searched around this forum for about an hour, and I haven't found a solution for this problem I'm having. I'm sure it's something I'm not doing, but I have no idea what.

I followed all the instructions in the tutorial section of the manual, but typing mysql -u root I get Error 2002 Cannot connect thru socket. From what I gather, this is because mysqld is not started (since mysql.sock does in fact exist.) Well, if I try to start mysqld, redhat tells me Command not found. So, I thought I'd try mysqld_safe. Well that gave me some feedback:

Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
STOPPING server from pid file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
050413 [timestamp] mysqld ended

If anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong I would be extremely grateful.
