can you tell me whish MySQL database i should use. I have installed Mysql 4.12 as a root. it got created in var/lib/mysql

when i run ./configure --with-mysq= var/lib/mysql

it cannot find mysqld.h

i tried ./configure --with-mysq= usr/lib/

did not work either

should i use Mysql-Max ?

The configure setting for mysql is not looking for the data directory of mysql but the prefix path to the binaries and libs. So what ever you used for your prefix path in mysql is what you want to set the path to in zm ie. /usr usualy.

i think you forgot to install the "mysql-devel" package, which includes the mysql-header files (i.e. mysqld.h).
