Thanks, I got your points. I have libmsqlclient.so installed, but I cannot 
locate where is mysql-devel in Suse 10.0 (I looked in yast package manager 
and tried to locate the file on each CDs, but there is no mysql-devel --> am 
I missing something here ?). 

However, I have downloaded version of  mysql-devel  rpm package and have it  
installed. Now ./configure has gb.db.mysql installed.

But now I have another problem: when I tried to run program made by 1.9.17 in 
1.9.28, the following error message appear:

"Cannot load module xxxx: version too old, please recompile"

what's wrong ?

Thanks,
Rudy
