[zerocool]

Thanks for the info Neal. This really is a great group.

libmysqlclient.a  is in the libmysql-static-devel package.

Hi Gene.

Try installing libmysql-static-devel package via Synaptic before installing zoneminder.

See if this helps.

I have done that, and configure now runs, but now the make falls over:

This looks like a coding error, or a missing header, and I am fresh out of clues.
