how to solution problem with SELinux in RHEL 5

hi, i'm trying install mysql5 on RHEL5 from rpm and not start a deamon,
when a look a message log I saw somethings like that.
 setroubleshoot:      SELinux is preventing the /usr/sbin/
mysqld from using potentially mislabeled files (mysql.sock).      For complete S
ELinux messages. run sealert -l eaaa4421-5ba8-45ca-9527-905662af2a3b.
I don't know how solve this problem. I thinks the problem is for SELinux.

when I saw this sealert -l eaaa4421-5ba8-45ca-9527-905662af2a3b
sealert -l eaaa4421-5ba8-45ca-9527-905662af2a3b
Summary
    SELinux is preventing the /usr/sbin/mysqld from using potentially mislabeled
    files (mysql.sock).

Detailed Description
    SELinux has denied /usr/sbin/mysqld access to potentially mislabeled file(s)
    (mysql.sock).  This means that SELinux will not allow /usr/sbin/mysqld to
    use these files.  It is common for users to edit files in their home
    directory or tmp directories and then move (mv) them to system directories.
    The problem is that the files end up with the wrong file context which
    confined applications are not allowed to access.

Allowing Access
    If you want /usr/sbin/mysqld to access this files, you need to relabel them
    using restorecon -v mysql.sock.  You might want to relabel the entire
    directory using restorecon -R -v .
