I presume there is some more error message above this. I'd like to see the
complete set of errors please, starting from the line which actually
triggers the error (probably a line starting 'gcc', 'cc' or 'ld') because
that will say what's wrong.

But it looks like a linker problem trying to link in mysql support. Perhaps
it's unable to find libmysqlclient.a or something like that. Post the full
error message.

The fix might be something in Local/Makefile like

LOOKUP_INCLUDE=-I/usr/local/mysql/include
LOOKUP_LIBS=-L/usr/local/mysql/lib

but that depends on where you got your mysql installation from.

Of course, if you don't want to use mysql lookups then just set

LOOKUP_MYSQL=no

in Local/Makefile.

Brian.
