This error message is caused by the call:

dbi_conn_new(ptr_clrequest->dbserver)

in refdbda.c. There's essentially two possible causes for the failure
of this call:

1) libdbi is not set up correctly. Did you run make check after
   building libdbi? Please also make sure that you built libdbi with
   the --with-mysql switch as this is required to build the MySQL
   driver. Please check also that the driver is in a standard
   location, like /usr/local/lib/dbd/libmysql.so

2) refdbd is configured incorrectly. Please check the settings in
   /usr/local/etc/refdb/refdbdrc and make sure that you selected mysql
   as the dbserver.

regards,
Markus
