libaio.so.1 shared object file not found

Installing software under linux is a nightmare sometimes. I installed mysql but when i tried to start it i got

libaio.so.1 shared object file not found

Error msg. Oops so now what to do. Well the obvious solution is to somehow install that file into your system. But how in the heck do you do it ?

Well try running this command

sudo aptitude install libaio-dev

And then run mysqld. Wow where did the error go ?
