准备工作：

新建用户和用户组

groupadd mysql
useradd -g mysql mysql

1：下载：

bison-2.4.2.tar.bz2
cmake-2.8.3.tar.gz
make-3.82.tar.gz
bzr-2.3b5.tar.gz
mysql-5.5.8.tar.gz

2：解压安装前3个包

tar zxvf  cmake-2.8.3.tar.gz
cd cmake-2.8.3
./configure
make
make install
tar zxvf make-3.82.tar.gz
cd make-3.8.2
./configure
make
make install

tar jxvf bison-2.4.2.tar.bz2
cd bison-2.4.2
./configure
make
make install

3：解压mysql-5.5.8.tar.gz

tar zxvf mysql-5.5.8.tar.gz
cd mysql-5.5.8

cmake . \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/mysql/mysqldir \
-DMYSQL_DATADIR=/mysql/mysqldir/data \
-DWITH_INNOBASE_STORAGE_ENGINE=1 \
-DMYSQL_TCP_PORT=3306 \
-DMYSQL_UNIX_ADDR==/mysql/mysqldir/data/mysql.sock \
-DMYSQL_USER=mysql \
-DWITH_DEBUG=0

报错(如无报错直接make & make install 即可)：

缺少包：ncurses-devel

解决：

到安装光盘或者网上DOWN相应的包

安装：

rpm -ivh ncurses-devel*.rpm

rm -f CMakeCache.txt

cmake . \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/data/mysql \
-DMYSQL_DATADIR=/data/mysql/data \
-DMYSQL_UNIX_ADDR=/data/mysql/mysql.sock \

make && make install
完成后进入MYSQL安装目录 cd /mysql/mysqldir cp support-files/my-huge.cnf /etc/my.cnf
vi /etc/my.cnf 将数据目录和套接字文件修改为实际值.
在[mysqld]字段下添加如下内容
datadir = /data/mysql/data
修改权限 chown mysql:mysql /etc/my.cnf chown -R mysql:mysql /mysql/mysqldir

安装初始化数据库
cd /data/mysql cp scripts/mysql_install_db .
./mysql_install_db  --user=mysql --datadir=/data/mysql/data

准备启动脚本:
cp support-files/mysql.server /etc/init.d/mysqld
加入服务队列
chkconfig --add mysqld
设置开机自动启动
 chkconfig mysqld on
