probably you have the dynamic library of libmysql installed in
/usr/lib/mysql. The linking of dynamic libraries is a little bit
different than the static library.

The easiest solution is to add /usr/lib/mysql to /etc/ld.so.conf
and invoke "ldconfig". I guess this will solve this problem.

Otherwise take a look at config.log and find the real reason why
it does not find the library. Maybe some header files are not at
the right place...

Best regards

Dirk
