Do you want the full path to the client or the server?

For the server, type this at the shell:
locate safe_mysqld|grep -v man
That's the location to the script which starts the server.

For the mysql client, type this:
which mysql

[Vinay]

if you want the mysql path to connect to

generally
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql

or
/usr/bin/mysql

otherwise, do what quinn said, and it should be in the same directory as safe_mysqld
