Help on Debian Source building mysql 5.5.10 w/ CMake

[Noel Cruz]

Hi, I tried building from source mysql ga 5.5.10 using cmake. It built and installed into /usr/local/mysql using the online docs and accepted the defaults like:
cmake . # unlike ./configure
make
make install

My problem started when I tried the post-install w/ okako:/usr/local/mysql# scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql. As a workaround, I did okako:/usr/local/mysql# scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr/local/mysql/ --datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data/ and ran mysqld in libexec and I get these errors in another terminal:
okkaba@okako:/usr/local/mysql/bin$ ./mysql -u root
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
okkaba@okako:/usr/local/mysql/bin$ ./mysql -u root mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
okkaba@okako:/usr/local/mysql/bin$ ./mysql -u mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
okkaba@okako:/usr/local/mysql/bin$ ./mysql -u mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
okkaba@okako:/usr/local/mysql/bin$ ./mysql -u root mysql
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
okkaba@okako:/usr/local/mysql/bin$

I was going to rerun cmake . w/ new options but checking CMakeCache.txt shows that default basedir is /usr/local/mysql. To summarize, it compiles and builds but I cannot connect to server. Any help will be appreciated!

thanks in advance, noel s cruz - vancouver, bc

Installing MySQL system tables...
110402 19:40:25 [ERROR] Can't find messagefile '/usr/share/mysql/english/errmsg.sys'
110402 19:40:25 [ERROR] /usr/local/mysql//libexec/mysqld: unknown option '--skip-bdb'
110402 19:40:25 [ERROR] Aborting

110402 19:40:25 [Note]

Installation of system tables failed! Examine the logs in
/usr/local/mysql/data/ for more information.

You can try to start the mysqld daemon with:

shell> /usr/local/mysql//libexec/mysqld --skip-grant &

and use the command line tool /usr/local/mysql//bin/mysql
to connect to the mysql database and look at the grant tables:

shell> /usr/local/mysql//bin/mysql -u root mysql
mysql> show tables

Try 'mysqld --help' if you have problems with paths. Using --log
gives you a log in /usr/local/mysql/data/ that may be helpful.

Please consult the MySQL manual section
'Problems running mysql_install_db', and the manual section that
describes problems on your OS. Another information source are the
MySQL email archives available at http://lists.mysql.com/.

Please check all of the above before mailing us! And remember, if
you do mail us, you MUST use the /usr/local/mysql//scripts/mysqlbug script!
