If yes, please post the last 100 lines from the /tmp/mysqld.trace file to me so that I can figure out what's going on!

Unfortunately tha strace doesn't show anything obviously wrong; According to it, mysqld starts nicely without any problems.

Did you try to connect to mysqld from another window?

When you started mysqld normally, I assume you didn't forget to start mysqld in the background by adding & last to your command row.
