参考文章MySQL官方教程
安装后使用supersmack测试记录 对MYSQL进行压力测试 http://blog.csdn.net/pengyouchuan/archive/2010/12/18/6084007.aspx
MySQL5.5源码安装和以前的5.1有区别,5.1使用autotool编译,新版的5.5使用CMake编译
需要先安装cmake
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
下载源码包,安装cmake方法和其他的安装相同,解压,配置,编译,安装
按照MySQL官方文档进行,顺利完成,根据自己的datadir安装数据库,我的安装/home/mysql/data下
