Thanks Anton

I have version 4.0.13-3 of mysql installed and have installed

libmysqlclient-dev 4.0.13-3
libmysqlclient10 3.23.56-2
libmysqlclient12 4.0.13-3

I do have mysql.h in /usr/include/mysql/, the configure just isn't seeing it. I tried the command line "./configure --with-mysql-includes=/usr/include/mysql/" but that didn't work either. Finally I edited "configure.in" and just added the my path: 
"[GB_FIND(mysql.h my_config.h, /usr/include/mysql /usr/lib /usr/local /opt /usr, include mysql*/include)],"

That seems to work, ./configure now finds mysql

checking for MySQL driver headers... /usr/include/mysql/
checking for MySQL driver libraries... /usr/lib/

I guess I could have also made a symbolic link from /usr/lib/mysql.h to /usr/include/mysql/mysql.h but since the edit got it working I didn't try.

Thanks
