deamon stops immediately on RedHat 9

Folks,

I am trying to install MySQL on RedHat 9 and the deamon stops
immediately. Here is what I get in the error log.

030908 22:01:45 mysqld started
030908 22:01:45 Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission
denied
030908 22:01:45 Do you already have another mysqld server running on
socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock ?
030908 22:01:45 Aborting

030908 22:01:45 /usr/local/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown Complete

030908 22:01:45 mysqld ended

I have done the following:
Turn off the firewall on the machine.
Telnet to port 3306 to see if its already running. The connection is
refused so I the deamon is not already running.

Please help!
Troy

My config file:

[mysqld]
datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
language=/usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/english

[mysql.server]
user=mysql
basedir=/usr/local

[safe_mysqld]
err-log=/usr/local/mysqld.log
pid-file=/usr/local/mysqld/mysqld.pid
