I performed a fresh installation of Ubuntu 5.10 (server), as I had a disc lying about. I installed the 'dev tools'(?) package, copied the MySQL source over to the machine, unpacked, ran configure (with relevant options).

Sorry, I may have missed something. What's wrong with "sudo apt-get install mysql-server"?
