Indeed, that was the problem!
In my /etc/hosts the loopback address was set as:

 ::1 localhost localhost.mydomain.com
 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.mydomain.com

instead of the correct:

 ::1 localhost localhost.mydomain.com mydomain.com
 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.mydomain.com
mydomain.com

I made the addition and MySQL server installed with no
complaints :)

Thanks, Bill!
