With out knowing what distro and what your configure values were it's hard to be spacific.
Either you put the wrong prefix path or you need to install mysql development package.

i'm having some difficulty with building ZoneMinder-1.22.2
the problem is with mysql.h
i've seen some posts on this, but i've not found a solution that works for me.
i'm a relative novice with linux and would like someone to help with
somewhat explicit instructions.
i'd appreciate any advice or help.

here is what i've done:
1) fresh install of FC5 and then updates using suggestions from
stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_5_installation_notes.html

2) installed mysql (non RPM package -- standard 5.0.22 version) following
the instructions in INSTALL_BINARY
shell> groupadd mysql
shell> useradd -g mysql mysql
shell> cd /usr/local
shell> gunzip < /PATH/TO/MYSQL-VERSION-OS.tar.gz | tar xvf -
shell> ln -s FULL-PATH-TO-MYSQL-VERSION-OS mysql
shell> cd mysql
shell> scripts/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
shell> chown -R root .
shell> chown -R mysql data
shell> chgrp -R mysql .
shell> bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &

3) untared ZoneMinder-1.22.2 to a /root/Desktop/ZoneMinder-1.22.2

4) from there
./configure --with-webdir=/var/www/html/zm --with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin

i got the following output:

[root@localhost ZoneMinder-1.22.2]# ./configure --with-webdir=/var/www/html/zm --with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin

configure: WARNING: You can call configure with the --with-libarch option.
This tells configure where to find architecture specific libraries.
The default of 'lib' is usually ok but 64 bit machines may require lib64.
e.g. --with-libarch=lib or --with-libarch=lib64
configure: WARNING: You can call configure with the --with-mysql option.
This tells configure where to find the MySql C library and headers if configure cannot
locate them automatically.
e.g. --with-mysql=/usr/local or --with-mysql=/usr
configure: WARNING: You can call configure with the --with-ffmpeg option.
This tells configure where to find the ffmpeg root directory within which are the libavcodec
and libavformat files that can be used to build true MPEG streaming into ZoneMinder. Ensure that
your copy of ffmpeg has installed libraries as well as binaries (use 'make installlib'). If you
are using a local install of ffmpeg you may have to remove or rename a previous real installation
as the headers and libraries from that will probably be picked up before your local copy.
e.g. --with-ffmpeg=/usr/local
configure: WARNING: You can call configure with the --with-extralibs option.
Ordinarily you will need to use this option only when your copy of ffmpeg has been built
with support for additional formats and you would use this option to detail which additional
libraries ffmpeg was built with so that it is able to link successfully with ZoneMinder.
You will need to wrap this option in quotes if it contains any spaces.
e.g. --with-extralibs="-lmp3lame"
configure: WARNING: You can call configure with the --with-webuser option.
This tells configure what the user name of the web user is if it is not the default of 'apache'.
e.g. --with-webuser=apache or --with-webuser=web
configure: WARNING: You can call configure with the --with-webgroup option.
This tells configure what the group name of the web group is if it is not the default of 'apache'.
e.g. --with-webgroup=apache or --with-webgroup=web
configure: WARNING: You can call configure with the --enable-debug=<yes|no> or --disable-debug option.
This tells configure whether to compile ZoneMinder with debug included. Although debug is included
by default it is not output unless explicitly switched on elsewhere. These checks may induce a
small penalty on performance and if you are after squeezing the maximum possible performance out
of ZoneMinder you may use this switch to prevent debug from being compiled in.
e.g. --enable-debug=yes or --disable-debug
configure: WARNING: You can call configure with the --enable-crashtrace=<yes|no> or --disable-crashtrace option.
This tells configure whether to compile ZoneMinder with crash tracing included. This allows a
dump of the stack trace when a ZoneMinder binary crashes or is killed by an unexpected signal.
Although this should work on most systems it does rely on un(or loosely) documented features and
so should be regarded as experimental. If you experience problems compiling zm_signal.cpp or ZoneMinder binaries fail to shut down corrected then you should probably disable this feature.
e.g. --enable-crashtrace=yes or --disable-crashtrace

and here is where i'm stuck.

I think you need the mysql devel packages too

[c3lica]

i am having the same problem except I have FC3... how would i go about gettin mysql devel?

[jameswilson]

should be on your cd's
else google for an rpm for mysql-devel that matches your instaleed mysql, i think you can also yum it. If your on fc3 id use coreys rpm's
