I had a problem were by MySQL had put headers in 
/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql and libs in /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql 
there is no way to give one path to these as configure was just 
appending libs and include to any path you give it. so I made a dir 
called t and inside that made links called include and libs, these 
linked to the relevant sub dirs in mysql.
I hope that made sense?
