the problem is obviously, you either have not installed the
libmysqlclient library or you have installed it at a location
where the linker can not find it.

You can use the LDFLAGS envrionment variable with configure
to point to the correct location, e.g.:

LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql ./configure --with-mysql

If it is a dynamic library you should also try to add the
search path to the executable. 

Best regards

Dirk
