I dimly remember having stumbled over this or a similar problem. The 
first thing I would try is ./configure --help to find out whether there 
is an option to turn off database support (via ODBC). Or else, install 
the ODBC developer package. My system (debian) tells me that I have an 
sql.h installed by these packages:

ben@sarun: ~ > dpkg -S sql.h
libmysqlclient14-dev: /usr/include/mysql/mysql.h
unixodbc-dev: /usr/include/sql.h

HTH,
Ben

PS: Just BTW, debian's really excellent package system is one of the 
reasons I recently switched from SUSE to debian :-)
