Uhm, are you indeed trying to use both databases? Postgres AND MySQL? If
you only need MySQL support, all you need is --with-mysql. Make sure you
have the MySQL client loaded on that box and the MySQL development files
(sources for the client, at the very least libs and headers) on the box
you compile this on. The production box only needs to have the
libraries, but you need to compile on a box that does have the header
files.
