I build from sources using the following configuration command:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --localstatedir=/var/mysql
 --without-perl --with-unix-socket-path=/var/mysql/mysql.sock
 --without-readline 

The --without-perl is because I build my perl modules separately from
mysql, and the --without-readline is because I have readline installed
in the system, and this lets it use my system-wide shared lib for
readline.

Works just fine for me for a couple of years this way.
