Postfix w/MySQL install

[Rob Brandt]

Hi.  I'm continuing work on my new YDL 2.2 server and am trying to 
get Postfix installed with MySQL support.  FWIW, I will be using 
courier-imap with this.

I have read the HOWTOs at http://kirb.insanegenius.net/postfix.html 
and http://kummefryser.dk/HOWTO/mail/postfix_mysql.html but have not 
been successful getting postfix to compile because of (I suspect) 
differences in installation locations of stuff in YDL and the 
instructions (and also because I really don't know what I'm doing 
when it come to compiling).

The HOWTO says to 'make' like this:

>make -f Makefile.init makefiles \
>'CCARGS=-DHAS_MYSQL -I/usr/local/mysql/include' \
>'AUXLIBS=-L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient -lz -lm'

Well, in YDL there isn't anything at /usr/local/mysql/include, and 
make ends with an error.  I changed that path to /usr/include/mysql, 
and it gets further this time but still stops with an error.  I 
changed /usr/local/mysql/lib (which doesn't exist) to /usr/lib/mysql, 
and make completes without error, but I'm still suspicious because I 
noticed that I have no file anywhere named 'lmysqlclient'.  I do have 
'libmysqlclient', and substituted that, and it also ends without 
error.  So now I don't know which one is correct because I would 
think that I'd get an error on at least one of them.  I have 
installed mysql server, mysql-devel, & mysql-client.

In any case, I continued with the HOWTO instructions, which continue as:

>make && make install

I try to do that, but it doesn't get very far before it says:

>[src/util]
>gcc -Wmissing-prototypes -Wformat -DHAS_MYSQL -g -O -I. -DLINUX -c alldig.c
>In file included from alldig.c:29:
>sys_defs.h:478: sys/types.h: No such file or directory
>alldig.c:30: ctype.h: No such file or directory
>make: *** [alldig.o] Error1
>make: *** [update] Error1


Which I think is trying to tell me that I'm missing something, maybe 
some header files.  But I'm not familiar enough with the tools to 
recognize what.  So here are the questions:

1) Do I have my paths correct for the first step?
2) Do I use lmysqlclient or libmysqlclient in the first step?
3) What am I missing in the 2nd step?

TIA

Rob
