Building MySQL Cluster From Source, then run NDB installer

  1. Download the source package and extract it. 
 # Download using your browser from http://www.mysql.com/downloads or from the following example mirror using wget
 # You can change the version to download, by editing the version numbers in below: "mysql-5.1.21-beta.tar.gz"
 wget http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.1/mysql-5.1.21-beta.tar.gz/from/http://mysql.dataphone.se/
# or for version 5.1.22-beta
 wget http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.1/mysql-5.1.22-beta.tar.gz/from/http://mysql.dataphone.se/

 tar zxf mysql-5.1.21-beta.tar.gz
 cd mysql-5.1.21-beta

2a. Configure, make and install the binaries (Localhost only) 

# change 'pentium' to amd/solaris/ppc for your architecture
# You then need to change 'i686' to 'x86_64' or 'ppc'
# /BUILD/compile-amd-max --prefix=$HOME/.mysql/mysql-5.1.21-beta-linux-x86_64-glibc23
./BUILD/compile-pentium-max --prefix=$HOME/.mysql/mysql-5.1.21-beta-linux-i686-glibc23
make install

OR

2b. Configure, make and install the binaries (Distributed with root installation) 

# change 'pentium' to alpha/solaris/ppc for your architecture
# You then need to change 'i686' to 'x86_64' or 'ppc'
# ./BUILD/compile-amd-max --prefix=/usr/local/mysql-5.1.21-beta-linux-x86_64-glibc23
./BUILD/compile-pentium-max --prefix=/usr/local/mysql-5.1.21-beta-linux-i686-glibc23
make install

Move the mgm server and ndbd processes where they can be found by ndbinstaller.sh 

cd ~/.mysql
# OR
cd /usr/local/

# move to mysql binaries
cd mysql-5.1.21-beta-linux-i686-glibc23/
# copy or move ndbd, ndb_mgmd to bin directory
cp libexec/* bin/
  1. Edit ndbinstaller.sh to update the minor version of NDB from 17 to 21 
# This line replaces the minor version number '17' with '21'
 cat ndbinstaller.sh | sed 's/MYSQL_VERSION_REV=\"17\"/MYSQL_VERSION_REV=\"21\"/' | sed 's/scripts\/mysql_install_db/bin\/mysql_install_db/'> ndbinstaller_new.sh
# This line replaces the minor version number '17' with '23'
# cat ndbinstaller.sh | sed 's/MYSQL_VERSION_REV=\"17\"/MYSQL_VERSION_REV=\"23\"/' | sed 's/scripts\/mysql_install_db/bin\/mysql_install_db/'> ndbinstaller_new.sh
 mv -f ndbinstaller_new.sh ndbinstaller.sh
 chmod +x ndbinstaller.sh
