--with-mysql is supposed to be the directory in which configure can find the mysql header (.h) files and the mysql library (mysql.so) underneath that directory. /usr/bin/mysql_config is a program -- a "binary" if you will It's incredibly unlikely that your MySQL header files and the mysql.so library are in files underneath this binary, which isn't even a directory, much less the directory where your header and library files are living... Try --with-mysql=/usr or --with-mysql=/usr/local or... Do this: locate mysql.h locate mysql.so Then find the common portion of the directories where those files live. Silly Example: /elephant/snake/tiger/mysql.h /elephant/gorilla/pume/mysql.so You should use --with-mysql=/elephant because that's the common portion. In theory, configure will dig around in there and find the files it needs. In reality, it expects them to be in directories like 'include' and 'lib' with maybe an intervening directory like 'local' somewhere in the mess...
