I have updated an earlier post on how to install MySQL 5.5 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
Importantly, the new instructions include how to add the MySQL 5.5 libs to the loader path. This is very important as it’s highly likely that you’ll build software that depends on these MySQL libraries.
The updated instructions can be viewed at: MySQL 5.5 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
