Here is a quick and dirty fix:
ln -s wherever_you_mysql_base_dir_is/include/mysql.h
/usr/include/mysql.h
ln -s wherever_you_mysql_base_dir_is/lib/libmysqlclient.a
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.a
A cleaner solution would be to dig through your configure options and
make sure that it compiles with the correct paths that include mysql
directories in -I and -L
