Brad, Sorry I read too quickly. Version 5.6.x is not a GA release it is still a beta release. These compilation instruction work only for the 5.1.x release. The 5.5.x release does not require compilation anymore read more about it here: http://diymacserver.com/2011/01/08/first-attempt-at-using-mysql-5-5-x/

@Brad, please make sure you’ve downloaded the correct file. You need to download the actual source code. Select “source code” from the drop down list and then select the “Generic Linux (Architecture Independent), Compressed TAR Archive”

I’m trying to run this step but getting: ./configure: No such file or directory

I see in the directory there is a configure.cmake and not a configure file. Do I need to do something different? It is version 5.6.2

@Urs, you are right and I’m updating the instructions but they are not ready yet. You can find the differences between 5.1.x and 5.5.x for everything in my earlier blogpost at http://diymacserver.com/2011/01/08/first-attempt-at-using-mysql-5-5-x/

The good news, you don’t need to compile MySQL anymore.

This step is different in mysql 5.5.8. Would be great to have a step by step manual…

Thanks a lot for all the manuals!

Xcode need to be installed before to compile.
