Bad user.
There, you've been told off.

OK...

Yeah. The default is for mysql to install the include files that
way. On my system, they're in:
[aland@gomul pam_radius]$ locate mysql.h
/usr/include/mysql/mysql.h
So the 'configure' script works correctly there. Your milage may vary.

I'm not sure.
I *hate* depending on external software. Most of the problems with
the "server" are really problems with getting it to interact with
other software. And depending on the software version, the system
administrator, or the phase of the moon, it may or may not work. (sigh)
The definitive solution would be to create the 'Makefile' yourself
for the mysql module, by hand.
