I got libnss-mysql running on an AMD64 machine installed with SuSE Linux 9.2 64-Bit.
Therefore I had to compile libnss-mysql myself. This was a bit problematic because ./configure assumes to find all libraries in directories called 'lib' (/lib, /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib, ...). SuSE named the native 64-bit directories 'lib64' (/lib64, /usr/lib64, /usr/local/lib64, ...). This is not considered in ./configure. After modifying ./configure by hand at a few places it worked fine.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Check out the Solaris 64 bit compile instructions - they should port to whatever x86_64 linux conventions are. My other project (fssos/nsvs) has even cleaner instructions but I don't believe libnss-mysql's configure can handle them. I'll look at making 64-bit even easier for the next release.
Keep in mind, though, that nsvs is meant to replace libnss-mysql, so if you can move in that direction, all the better.
