help connecting to embedded db

[Caleb Cushing]

http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Development/MySQL_Embedded I followed that

/usr/sbin/mysqld --default-storage-engine=MyISAM
--defaults-file=`pwd`/my.cnf --datadir=`pwd`/mysqle
--socket=`pwd`/sock --skip-grant-tables

that works.... but then I can't get connected to the service

mysql -u root -h 127.0.0.1 --password
Enter password:
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1'

ideas?
