Hello,
    if PHP complains about some missing headers for MySQL there is a lot of
chances that these headers are not installed, or you didn't provide the right
path to it.
    Supposing you're under RedHat or something similar, try 'rpm -qa |grep
mysql' . If you don't see MySQL-devel-xxx.rpm package install it. Then run
configure again.It must work
    If it doesn't the path you provided isn't the right, you'll have to locate
the file mysql.h

bye.
