Previous versions of Bacula have always depended on checking the static libraries for MySQL and PostgreSQL for certain symbols (multi-thread enabled, batch insert functionality, ...).
Recently various distributions have stopped releasing the static libraries, which make such detection fail. In bacula-5.0.3, we attempted to fix this for PostgreSQL by adding explicit ./configure detection of certain entry points in the shared objects. The first version of this code released in 5.0.3 had a flaw, which I noticed after 5.0.3 was released, when I was building Bacula Enterprise binaries on a number of systems. I fixed it, and back ported it to Branch-5.0, which is in the Source Forge repository. So, in principle, this problem is resolved for PostgreSQL if you pull the code from the repository. For MySQL, we still rely on the static libraries being present, and that works on all the machines that we support, as far as I am aware (E.g. RHEL 5.5, SLES 11, ...). Apparently, RHEL 6.0 no longer has those static libraries for MySQL, so in the near future we will produce a fix for ./configure for MySQL to resolve this problem.
