Author Upgrade problems 4.1->5.0.18

Hello fellow listers,
I recently upgraded via RPMs from 4.1 to 5.0.18 on a RH9.0 (glibc2.3, =
kernel 2.4.20) machine. =20
Now I have problems starting the mysqld automatically. When it is =
invoked, the error=20
"Couldn't find MySQLmanager or server" is emitted. Here is a short =
history of my actions thus far.

- Installed (updated) RPMs w/o shutting down current 4.1 mysqld first
- Can't start mysqld from init.d script as root
- reset by hand the links to match those mentioned at top of "mysql" =
start script
(/etc/rc3.d/S99mysql, /etc/rc0.d/K01mysql)
- Complains w/ the above mentioned error but "mysqlmanager", =
"mysqld_safe" and "mysqld" all
exist owned by root w/ 755 permissions
- able to start mysqld and mysqld_safe as root on the command-line
- reset 'root' and 'mysql' user passwords as they were forgotten from =
earlier install of 4.1
- ran " mysql_fix_priviledge
_tables"
- every time server is run and subsequently shut down (via kill not =
kill -9), the socket file doesn't go away
- this prompts a change in the socket entry of /etc/my.cnf in order =
to restart
(mysql.sock(x) -> mysql.sock(x+1))
- the directory /var/lib/mysql is owned by 'mysql' with permissions =
755
- able to connect to a running mysqld as both 'root' and 'mysql' users

I hope this is enough info as this post is getting rather long. So, in =
short, my problem is that I cannot get the mysqld running automatically =
at boot-time and the socket files do not go away after the server exits. =
Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. =20
