It sounds as if configure can't find your MySQL
installation. You can tell it where it is with
--with-mysql-root=/some/path; the path given should
contain include/mysql/mysql.h and lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.a.

I don't know where Mandrake puts these files, but you
should be able to find them with `locate'.
