It appears that there are several different distributions for Linux, including
'bench', 'client', 'devel', and 'shared', while there is only a single dist. for
FreeBSD. Searching the FreeBSD ports archive did show some favorable results.
cd /usr/ports/databases
grep -r mysqlclient.so *
mysql323-server/pkg-plist.client:lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so
mysql323-server/pkg-plist.client:lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.10
I'm going to start over using the supplied port rather than fool with the
distribution off sourceforge and see where that gets me.

Sorry if this is a repeat, sourceforge search is down and I'm trying
to resolve this issue before the end of the week.
I've installed the binary MySQL distro v 3.23.52 on FreeBSD
v4.5-release and am now trying to compile courier-imap to access it.
I've researched doing this in the online installation page, FAQ, and
authlib/README.authmysql.html but am still having problems.
MySQL is in the default location, /usr/local/mysql
includes are in ./include, libs in ./lib
I've created a shell script that does the following
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/mysql/include"
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/mysql/lib"
export CPPFLAGS
export LDFLAGS
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/courier-imap --without-ipv6 --with-authmysql
I get the error "configure: error: --with-authmysql specified but no
mysqlclient.so"
If I don't specify --with-authmysql, during configure mysql_config
and mysql_connect both report 'no'.
Searching through authlib/configure I found configure options that
allow me to specify paths to the libraries and includes, but after a
full system wide search for 'mysqlclient.so' returned no results, I
decided to post here before trying the options.
--with-mysql-libs=/usr/local/mysql/lib
--with-mysql-include=/usr/local/mysql/include
I've downloaded several other binary distributions of MySQL for other
platforms to see if it possibly was platform specific, but did not
find anything. Do I need to go to the source distribution in order to
obtain the "development support files"?
Excerpt from http://inter7.com/courierimap/INSTALL.html
"Most LDAP/MySQL/PostgreSQL packages come in two parts: the runtime
support, and development support. You may have just the runtime
support installed, you will need to make sure that development
support files are also installed."
I've searched everywhere for a separate development distribution with no luck.
