首先要下载MySQL的源代码

wget http://mirror.provenscaling.com/mysql/community/source/5.0/mysql-5.0.16.tar.gz

下载好后，解压

tar zxvf mysql-5.0.16.tar.gz

然后安装编译MySQL的库文件

yum -y install gcc gcc-c++ ncurses-devel libtool-libs
//这东西我想了好久才想起来，其实编译的时候会有提示缺什么的

然后按顺序执行以下命令

cd mysql-5.0.16

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql \
--enable-thread-safe-client \
--enable-assembler \
--enable-profiling \
--with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static \
--with-client-ldflags=-all-static \
--with-charset=utf8 \
--with-extra-charsets=all \
--with-plugins=max \
--with-mysqld-user=mysql \
--localstatedir=/usr/local/mysql/data
make
make install

等待10几分钟，安装完成后，复制配置文件

cp /usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/my-medium.cnf /etc/my.cnf

设置权限

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql

chown -R mysql:mysql /usr/local/mysql

建立连接符号

ln -s /usr/local/mysql/share/mysql/mysql.server /etc/init.d/mysqld
ln -s /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql /usr/bin
ln -s /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin /usr/bin

现在可以启动了

service mysqld start
//设置开机启动
chkconfig --add mysqld
chkconfig --level 345 mysqld on
//设置mysql的密码
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -u root password 123456 (123456为root密码)

好了，一切OK 。
