using 2.3.7 with mysql

[Phil Longstaff]

If you want to use with mysql, you also need the mysql libdbi driver (also known as a dbd).  It looks like you're using a linux distro, so look for a package with mysql and dbd and/or dbi in its name (googling gave me libdbd-mysql-... for debian, for example).

Assuming that after configure you did make clean and make then I have
run out of ideas, sorry.

Anyone else?
