For MariaDB 5.5, you also need libaio-dev (since this is also a requirement for MySQL 5.5). Can someone verify this independently from me, then update the documentation? Thanks
I just tried building MariaDB 5.5 on a machine without libaio-dev installed and was successful. So as far as I can tell, it's not required.
The build process for 5.5 is very different than previous versions of MariaDB, so the documentation does need to be updated anyway, or at least a 5.5 build instructions page added.
