Re: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

I am having a similar problem. Has anyone figured out a solution? My platform is OSX Leopard on an iMac, I used the MySQL-5.0.51b-OSX10.5-x86_64.pkg in the following order: MySQL install package, the mysql startup item, then the mysql.prefPane. I thought it was fine as terminal let me see the install and allowed me to change security settings such as root password. However, when I open PHPmyAdmin and try to connect to MySQL it gives me the error 2002. I am wondering if I need to install a different version of mysql (x86 rather than x86_64?) There was no real documentation on which installer to use for leopard on a newer iMac, apple didn't even know the difference! If so, how do I Uninstall mysql to reinstall??? PLEASE HELP! Thanks!
