I found there were deb packages for mysql server on dev.mysql.com. You don’t need to build mysql yourself! Then I tried to use it. $ sudo dpkg -i mysql-5.6.8-rc-debian6.0-x86_64.deb But this package install files into /opt/mysql/server-5.6/, even client side files. So you shuld setup some environment. InstallYou need libaio-dev package. $ sudo apt-get install libaio-dev Make user/group of mysql. $
