MySQL 5.5.X (X=11 for me) installation issue in Ubuntu 10.10

Recently, while I was trying to install "MySQL community server" from binary distribution I came up with an issue when running the command ,

terminal> scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql

in INSTALL-BINARY. 


So the error is about a missing library. To get rid of this install the missing lib which solved the problem for me.

terminal> apt-get install libaio1 libaio-dev

This solved the problem I had during the installation. HTH. :-)

Sakai CLE mobile app - GSoC 2011


My proposal for GSoC 2011 got accepted this time with Sakai project. Idea is to develop a mobile application for Sakai using cross platform javascript library phoneGap which will run on variety of platforms (first instance will run on Android and iOS). My project mentor is Steve Swinsburg. 

With the progress I hope to post to this blog with the status of the project and things I learnt in the mean time.
