Hi,
I have installed libzdb without problems before, but now I'm trying to do the same and I always get the same error message. I tried to install mysql-server both from apt-get and using the generic binaries. I have installed the mysql-client too, using "apt-get install mysql-client".
The command I use to try to configure your library is this:

I though the problem was because the line "checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient... no", but I have checked several times the client library, and all seems to be ok (of course, It's not). I'll appreciate any clue you can offer.
Thank you!,
