--with-mysql-include-dir=DIR    Directory where the MySQL includes can be 
found
--with-mysql-lib-dir=DIR        Directory where the MySQL libraries can be 
found
--with-mysql-dir=DIR            Base directory where MySQL is installed
--with-thread-pool              Use a pool of threads for high-load systems.  
(default=no) ***very important to turn on***
--localstatedir=/var            Directory for logfiles [LOCALSTATEDIR/log]


Here is what I use on a debian machine. Just change the paths to match your 
file locations.

./configure --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc --with-thread-pool 
--with-mysql-include-dir=/usr/include/mysql/ --with-mysql-lib-dir=/usr/lib/ 
--with-mysql-dir=/usr/bin/

This has nothing to do with being a mysql expert. It has to do with being a 
system admin and knowing how your system works. I don't know if you are new 
to linux or what.. but here it how to find out the answer to this question:

try this:

rpm -ql <package name>

It will list all files and their locations that came from that rpm.

If you don't know what it is expecting for package name, try this
rpm -qa | grep mysql

It will list all packages with mysql in their name:)

Read "man rpm" for more info!
