首先我这是一台CentOS release 6.2 (Final)，新安装的系统，没有任何软件及库文件。安装mysql5.5之前，先需要大概了解一下，需要注意的信息，mysql5.5的安装与其它版本不同的是编译安装时，需要用到cmake，所以做如下操作：

1.yum install gcc* c++ * autoconf automake zlib*  libxml* ncurses-devel libmcrypt* libtool-ltdl-devel*安装系统所需要的库文件

2.安装cmake工具。yum install cmake*

3.由于我这个系统是新安装的没有任何软件，所以如果用yum install cmake*安装成功后，到安装mysql时会出现如下错误，请看：

[root@localhost mysql]# cd mysql-5.5.25a

[root@localhost mysql-5.5.25a]# cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/mysql -DMYSQL_UNIX_ADDR=/data/mysql/mysql.sock -DDEFAULT_CHARSET=utf8 -DDEFAULT_COLLATION=utf8_general_ci -DWITH_EXTRA_CHARSETS:STRING=utf8,gbk -DWITH_MYISAM_STORAGE_ENGINE=1 -DWITH_INNOBASE_STORAGE_ENGINE=1 -DWITH_MEMORY_STORAGE_ENGINE=1 -DWITH_READLINE=1 -DENABLED_LOCAL_INFILE=1 -DMYSQL_DATADIR=/data/mysql -DMYSQL_USER=mysql -DMYSQL_TCP_PORT=3306

CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Unix Makefiles".  CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set.  You probably need to select a different build tool.

CMake Error: Error required internal CMake variable not set, cmake may be not be built correctly.

Missing variable is:

大概的意思就是说cmake没有安装好，我明明用yum install cmake*安装好了呀？后来yum install make 后，[root@localhost mysql-5.5.25a]# yum install make

再执行./configure成功了。出现如下信息（部分）：

第二种：如果用源码形式安装会出现如下错误：

[root@localhost mysql]# cd cmake-2.8.10.1

[root@localhost cmake-2.8.10.1]# ./configure

这回在安装mysql时，就可以了。

总结一下，两种不同方法安装cmake时，提示错误位置不同。可能这些只与我的系统有关，可能是新系统，好多软件均未安装，在些做下笔记，方便以后有朋友遇到此种问题时，方便查阅。
