Solaris

I am trying to install Postfix on a Sun SPARC Solaris 9 server. I am not sure whether it is essential or not but still installed MySQL on that server and it is running fine.Now when I am trying to run the make command as a part of installation of Postfix, it reports the following error.

# make

Upon searching on the net, I guess it is due to the non availability of mysql-devel which may or may not be included with in the installation from mysql's website. I am sorry if at all I am not correct.

Can you pl let me know the solution for the above issue and if not from where mysql-devel can be downloaded? I searched for mysql-devel on the net and no luck.

Thanks in advance.

How did you install the MySQL?

So the Makefile seems to look for the MySQL headers at /usr/mysql/include/mysql, are you sure the MySQL headers are really there?

On my Linux machine, I installed MySQL binary distribution (.tar.bz2) and inside there is an "include" directory with the header files. Either your MySQL path is incorrectly set (or detected), or you installed some trimmed down version of the package with the header files moved to some other packages which you may not have installed (if included at all).
