That's not the error I usually get but what I have found helps quite a bit for me is symlink the mysql header files into /usr/include.  Most config scripts and make files don't look in /usr/inlcude/mysql.  To fix it simply do the following:
 
cd /usr/include
ln -s mysql/* .
 
Like I said it may not solve your problem but it might help or get rid of the next one you may run into. Good luck

Subject: [Serusers] Ser mysql Make error

I'm having a problem making the mysql module for ser.  When I type make modules everything compiles fine except for the mysql.so,  it returns an error saying:
        " /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
          collect2: ld returned 1 exit status"
If I remove the -lz it makes but can't be loaded correctly by ser.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Below is the makefile I'm using:
 
 
# $Id: Makefile,v 1.22 2003/09/16 18:55:07 janakj Exp $

# WARNING: do not run this directly, it should be run by the master Makefile

Thanks for any help,
