If it's like PostgreSQL, it should have been installed somewhere when you installed MySQL. But if you installed it using an O/S package manager, rather than from source, the O/S vender may have "helpfully" excluded bits they don't think you need. Often this will require additionally installing a "-devel" (RPM based systems) or "-dev" (deb based systems) of the MySQL package.
