I've downloaded and compiled this version from the source code using some pretty standard configuration options (see below for what I did) and everything appears to be working wonderfully.
Here's the breakdown of my configuration options:
./configureThen just run the make and make install commands to compile and install the new binaries. I suspect Marc Liyanage will shortly post a precompiled binary installation but if you're somewhat impatient like me, you can always go this route.
--enable-assembler
--prefix=/usr/local/mysql
--with-named-z-libs=/usr/local/libz.a
--with-innodb
--with-mysqld-user=mysql
As always, more information can be found on the MySQL website.
