First of all, please use version 1.7.5.

1.7.2 has too many bugs.

You should add socket option under [client] and you should put
/usr/local/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock there as well as under [mysqld]
options header.

You should also make /usr/local/mysql/tmp/ directory scannable etc
.. by all, plus with temporary attribute.
