在red hat enterprise linux server
release 5.7 上用源码安装mysql-5.6.23时，遇到了" remove cmakecache.txt and rerun
cmake.on debian/ubuntu, package name is libncurses5-dev, on redhat and
derivates it is ncurses-devel."错误，如下所示
[root@db-server mysql-5.6.23]# cmake ./ -dcmake_install_prefix=/usr/local/mysql -dmysql_datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data

按
照错误提示，debian/ubuntu下需要安装libncurses5-dev；redhat下需要安装ncurses-devel
，检查是否安装了ncurses包，如下所示，已经安装了ncurses-5.5-24.20060715，但是缺少ncurses-devel包。
安装了ncurses-devel包后，删除cmakecache.txt，然后重新编译，编译成功，问题解决！
