Tradition. Static libraries end in .a, dynamic libraries end in .so*

in /etc/ld.so.conf, see 'man ldconfig'. Add the directory where
libmidgard
was installed, and the directory where libmysqlclient.so* can be found
and
run ldconfig.

If libmysqlclient was installed in /usr/lib/mysql, start configure like
so:

LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/mysql ./configure ...

If you don't have the shared libmysqlclient, do:

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib/mysql -lmidgard -lmysqlclient" ./configure ...

P.S. my mailclient has some difficulties with HTML posting. I'd rather
see plain
text. Thank you.
