1. 源码包下载
源码包通常也采用tar.gz压缩，名称中只包含版本信息，大小也比RPM包、二进制包小很多，解压后的文件中含有INSTALL-SOURCE文件，可从MySQL官网（http://www.mysql.com/downloads/）下载，如：mysql-5.5.17.tar.gz
2. CMake
在采用源码包安装MySQL实例之前，先来介绍一下cmake这个编译工具。在MySQL 5.5之前，是采用configure工具执行源码编译的，到了MySQL 5.5，改用cmake进行编译。这是一个比make更高级的编译配置工具，可根据不同平台、不同编译器，生产相应的Makefile或者vcproj项目，所以需要首先从官网（http://www.cmake.org）下载cmake工具并安装之。
安装cmake之前安装gcc包
rpm -ivh kernel-headers-2.6.18-308.el5.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh glibc-headers-2.5-81.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh glibc-devel-2.5-81.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh gcc-4.1.2-52.el5.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh libstdc++-devel-4.1.2-52.el5.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh gcc-c++-4.1.2-52.el5.x86_64.rpm
安装cmake
/mysql/cmake-2.8.3
./configure
gmake && make install


3. 安装mysql 5.5.17
1. 创建mysql系统组及用户
groupadd mysql
useradd –g mysql mysql

2. 设置用户操作系统资源限制

vi /etc/security/limits.conf
mysql soft nproc 2047
mysql hard nproc 16384
mysql soft nofile 1024
mysql hard nofile 65536
安装需要包
# rpm -ivh ncurses-devel-5.5-24.20060715.x86_64.rpm
# rpm -ivh bison-2.3-2.1.x86_64.rpm


3. 安装MYSQL Server
#mkdir /opt/mysql
#chown -R mysql:mysql /opt/mysql
#gunzip mysql-5.5.17.tar.gz
#tar xvf mysql-5.5.17.tar
#cd mysql-5.5.17
# cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/mysql \
> -DMYSQL_USER=mysql \
> -DMYSQL_TCP_PORT=3306 \
> -DMYSQL_DATADIR=/opt/mysql/data \
> -DWITH_MYISAM_STORAGE_ENGINE=1 \
> -DWITH_INNOBASE_STORAGE_ENGINE=1 \
> -DWITH_ARCHIVE_STORAGE_ENGINE=1 \
> -DWITH_MEMORY_STORAGE_ENGINE=1 \
> -DWITH_BLACKHOLE_STORAGE_ENGINE=1 \
> -DWITH_PARTITION_STORAGE_ENGINE=1 \
> -DENABLED_LOCAL_INFILE=1 \
> -DWITH_READLINE=1 \
> -DWITH_SSL=yes \
> -DDEFAULT_CHARSET=utf8 \
> -DDEFAULT_COLLATION=utf8_general_ci \
> -DEXTRA_CHARSETS=all

#make
#make install

To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy
support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system

PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:

/opt/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password'
/opt/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h mysql password 'new-password'

Alternatively you can run:
/opt/mysql/bin/mysql_secure_installation

which will also give you the option of removing the test
databases and anonymous user created by default. This is
strongly recommended for production servers.

See the manual for more instructions.

You can start the MySQL daemon with:
cd /opt/mysql ; /opt/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe &

You can test the MySQL daemon with mysql-test-run.pl
cd /opt/mysql/mysql-test ; perl mysql-test-run.pl

Please report any problems with the /opt/mysql/scripts/mysqlbug script!
