No worries, we've all been there.

Blow is the last section of output from the ./configure, showing you that it has now found where the mysql_config and following that my attempt at make.

OK, that's one good step forward.

OK, not too bad then.

It would appear that the build is looking for the MySQL
libraries to link with. On my SuSE Linux 10.2 I have a
file called /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.15 that most
certainly would be the one. Further investigation shows
that the file belongs to mysql-shared-5.0.26-12.i586.rpm
(on my distro at least). The rpm distro packagers do it
slightly differently on different distros, but would you
mind having a look and see if you got the mysql-shared rpm
package somewhere in your distro, and if so make sure it's
installed. Failing that, see if you can find any other mysql
related rpm packages that are not yet installed.
