There should really be a way to supply different paths of the MySQL headers and libraries... if you have the Debian mysql packages ./configure --with-mysql=<something> can't be done as you can then only find either the headers OR the libs... (example: /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so and /usr/include/mysql/mysql.h)

It'd be really nice to be able to supply --with-mysql-includes= and --with-mysql-libraries= or something like that... so you don't have to create symlinks all over your system...

Thanks in advance...

Seems to be an OS specific Feature/Change Request

I think the way to solve this isn't adding 2 configure options. The only difference between this installation and any other "standard" mysql installation is --

Headers:
[MYSQL]/include/mysql
Libraries:
[MYSQL]/lib

The standard installations (from a tarball, etc) install to:

Headers:
[MYSQL]/include/mysql
Libraries:
[MYSQL]/lib/mysql

So the appropriate solution is to check for MySQL libraries within lib/ and lib/mysql instead of just the latter.

Checking lib and lib/mysql was added before 4.0.1 was released, according to the CVS tag.
