I would work on it the other way around...tell mysql to put it's socket somewhere else... I'd be surprised if Suse's mysql package would put it in /tmp by default. Maybe that's where your compiled version of mysql was putting it (might make sense, then the compiled mysql versions would collide with other installed vesions). Remove the mysql rpm, delete /etc/mysql (or similar, if it exists), then reinstall the rpm.
