Today, when installing mysql 5.7, I had the following problem when compiling.

[root@localhost software]# cd mysql-5.7.21

[root@localhost mysql-5.7.21]# cmake .

The following error message appears.

— Could NOT find Curses (missing: CURSES_LIBRARY CURSES_INCLUDE_PATH)
CMake Error at cmake/readline.cmake:82 (MESSAGE):
Curses library not found. Please install appropriate package,

remove CMakeCache.txt and rerun cmake.On Debian/Ubuntu, package name is libncurses5-dev, on Redhat and derivates it is ncurses-devel.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
cmake/readline.cmake:126 (FIND_CURSES)
cmake/readline.cmake:216 (MYSQL_USE_BUNDLED_LIBEDIT)
CMakeLists.txt:250 (MYSQL_CHECK_READLINE)

— Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

 

Solution:

[root@xxxxxxx mysql-5.7.21]# rm CMakeCache.txt

[root@xxxxxxx mysql-5.7.21]# yum install ncurses-devel

[root@xxxxxxx mysql-5.7.21]# yum install bison

[[email protected]]# make && make install

Done!
