Sometimes MySQL and other programs are picky and can't find what they want
even if you tell them the right location.  Try --with-mysql=/usr/include
and --with-mysql=/usr in that order and see if it works.  Yes, it seems like
a bizarre fix, but it's sometimes what's needed.  Post again after you've
tried so people searching the archives can find the right answer.
