Fine... first part succeeded. We'll try to use PAM for authentication
and use mysql for logging.

This time it seems that linesrv has a problem with your mysql.h it
found. Your libmysqlclient version doesn't support the old-fashioned
functions any more or they were not compiled in when your binary got
created...

Edit mysql_backend.c in some editor (no windows editor!! It will
destroy it). Use nano, joe, 'mc -e <file>', nedit, vim, vi, ... Goto
line 89, there's already a comment about our topic above that line.
Remove the // from line 89 and put the same // in front of line 90.
(read: comment out line 90, uncomment line 89) Try to compile linesrv,
no need to run configure again. If it works, then run it (you have
already a config file). Does it crash? If it runs: lucky man... tell
me.

If it doesn't work: learn coding C and fix it
or use "./configure --disable-mysql", sorry.

I've been a debian user... started with SuSE, have gone to debian
as it's for free and finally stepped to Gentoo as it's the most
flexible distribution I've ever seen, though you need a fairly good
knowledge about the stuff in /etc/.
I think an installer which cares about dependencies is a must.
Otherwise you would have to spend to much time collecting stuff you
don't have installed yet. Even think about upgrading the whole
system... ;). Using precompiled binaries is the common case. You just
have to know about that stuff with the development packages which
provide you the neccessary files needed for compilation and linking of
other apps.
