Install and configure MySQL 5.5.20 in Redhat

The latest mysql versions require cmake compilation and installation. It is estimated that this method will be used in future versions. Therefore, we will record the installation steps and procedures for your reference.
Note: This installation is the latest toolkit installed under the default RedHat, such as GNU make, GCC, Perl, libncurses5-dev, if there is a missing toolkit found during the compilation and installation process, first, download and install yum install separately before continuing.
