Try "mysql -h=127.0.0.1"

If that fails, either mysqld is not running (check with ps -ax or whatever it is called over on the linux side) or it is not running on the default port.
Otherwise, mysqld is just not configured to use local sockets like this - or looks in a different directory...

Honestly, I think your mysqld server is not running.

Hmm, apparently your mysql does not have the equation sign.

try -h 127.0.0.1

But then, the second part actually answers it all: there is no mysql server running...
Check to make sure it is all installed - sorry, I have limited knowledge of Linux, so for more exhausting help, maybe someone else will come along.
