I think this is easy to correct... the installation can't find mysql.h (and errmsg.h for the same reason). Just do a search for mysql.h (find / -name mysql.h -print) and make sure it's in the path for the installation to find it. I can't remember the exact directory structure that gave me this same error a couple of years ago, but supposing the program expects to find mysql.h in "/usr/local/mysql/lib", and it's actually located in "/usr/local/mysql/include", all you need is a link, ln -s "/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql.h "/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql.h" The same goes for errmsg.h. Another way would be to set the PATH correctly. At least, this is what fixed my problem, as I recall.
