mysql.sock and other small animals

I have a bit of an issue:

I have just upgraded my version of MySQL on my Cobalt Qube Linux server,
and the installation would appear to have removed (or not created) a
mysql.sock file in the /var/lib/mysql/ directory.  It has created a link
in the /tmp/ directory.  I have verified that there are no cron jobs
running that would remove this file (as the help suggests on the MySQL
site).  Has anyone got any suggestions as to what I should do (create a
new file etc.)?

Cheers
