Should the 'authmysqlrc' file also exist in the '/etc/authlib' directory? I'm still confused about that particular file, because it exists in the directory where I un-tarred the 'courier-authlib-0.58' package, but nowhere else. If I just copy that file to the '/etc/authlib' directory and make the necessary changes to it, will it do what it is supposed to, or does the fact that it didn't get copied to '/etc/authlib' during installation indicate that there is a larger problem?
Your hunch is correct. MySQL development libraries were not found by the configure script, so no MySQL support was compiled and installed.
Just because you might have some files named "mysql" somewhere on your system does not mean that you have the MySQL development toolkit installed. You probably have just MySQL runtime libraries, sufficient only for running software that uses MySQL.
To build software that uses MySQL, additional files and resources must be installed, which usually comes in a separate, additional package that you must install before building courier-authlib.
