Steven,
which OS, version is this?
I'd be glad to test this out and find out what the fix is. Did you get DBD::mysql from cpan?
thanks much!

Perl-5.8.5 compiled happily, now updating DBD::mysql with:
mysql-standard-4.0.20-pc-linux-i686 DBD-mysql-2.9004
Catch is that newer mysql distro's use ./lib and ./include for their files not ./lib/mysql or ./include/mysql. Fix is to symlink '.' to mysql in the lib directory and use an explicit '-I' with the cflags.
For example:
$ perl Makefile.PL I will use the following settings for compiling and testing:
cflags (mysql_config) = -I/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql -mcpu=pentiumpro
libs (mysql_config) = -L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -lc -lnss_files -lnss_dns -lresolv -lc -lnss_files -lnss_dns -lresolv
nocatchstderr (default ) = 0
nofoundrows (default ) = 0
ssl (guessed ) = 0
testdb (default ) = test
testhost (default ) =
testpassword (default ) =
testuser (default ) =
To change these settings, see 'perl Makefile.PL --help' and 'perldoc INSTALL'.
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lmysqlclient
Using DBI 1.43 (for perl 5.008005 on i686-linux-thread-multi) installed in /opt/perl/5.8/lib/site_perl/5.8.4/i686-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBI
Writing Makefile for DBD::mysql
EH??? No libmysqlclient?
$ find /usr/local/mysql/ -name 'libmysqlclient*' -follow /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient_r.a
One hak fixes it:
cd /usr/local/mysql/lib; ln -fs . mysql;
Now I get:
