I believe the easiest thing to do would be to modify your my.cnf file in
MySQL. This is described in the INSTALL instructions, part of which I've
copied below.
Step G: Modify the my.cnf file (again)
This has been put in a different place every version or distribution
that I have run this one. I have found it in the '/etc' directory as
well as the '/etc/mysql' directory.
You can find where yours is by using the find command:
sudo find / -name my.cnf
This time you are modifying it so the that the UMLS-Interface package
(and the utils/ files) can automatically log into the umls database.
[client]
user = <username>
password = <password>
port = 3306
socket = /tmp/mysql.sock
database = umls
The port number is should already be in the my.cnf file under the
[mysql] heading. I just copied and pasted that.
You can modify the values in my.cnf to with whatever values apply to your
system. Then, UMLS::Interface will take these values from my.cnf and run
with those...
It is also possible to set these values from the command line, via options
that are found here :
http://search.cpan.org/~btmcinnes/UMLS-Similarity-1.33/utils/umls-similarity.pl
(look under database options)

:
I hope this helps!
Cordially,
Ted
