Well it doesn't seem like it'd be that difficult... but I have spent a good few hours trying to set it all up!
The first problem was that I didn't know how to install it - should I use apt-get install, or download the .rpm or use the synaptic package installer... I ended up going with apt-get, and there were a couple of other libraries I needed to install as well:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server install mysql-client
Install these if you haven't already:zlib1g, zlib1g-dev, build-essential, openssl, libssl-dev, libmysqlclient-dev, libyaml-dev
I had a bit of a problem however with libmysqlclient-dev... I don't know if this was because I was playing around or what... but it wouldn't install because it said:
I got rid of this problem by removing the mysql-devel package:
I also learnt a cool command to see all mysql related installs:
I had to say where the mysql socket is for rails to make a connection to mysql. The location I used is /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock -which seems to be working fine.
Finally, it comes time to run mysql - which it looks like you can also do in various ways! I've been running it by doing:
service mysql start
There is a blog which probably describes this all in more detail:
