Ah, I didn't see that error!  ./configure is checking for the
libmysqlclient library (or similar library used to connect to a mysql
server)...not for an actual mysql server at any address.  Install the
MySQL client libraries (mysql-devel if you're using Debian, I think). 
It should work then.  Good catch, Tijl.
