Perhaps you are omitting a --user=username parameter, or perhaps you 
need to be root to start your MySQL server.  It depends on your setup, 
which I don't know, but ... do you have any notes from how it was 
originally configured?

For instance, on my MySQL database, I had a special user who I started 
the database as each time:

$ ./bin/safe_mysqld --user=mysqladm &

Mind you I don't have a fink MySQL but that doesn't matter.  I think you 
need to be root to do it, so use sudo.
