That's a brilliant idea.? I tried it and got no message, so apparently
mySQL support is not in there.
I tried running /./configure/ and sure enough, it says
*MYSQL support:?????? No*
Of course, I do have mySQL installed, but apparently not the bits that
are necessary to integrate it into Motion.? What magic incantation do I
need to get them? I originally used /sudo apt-get install mysql-server/
to install mySQL.
Thanks, David

It depends upon your distribution and version.? The building
documentation has the ones that I'm aware of.
