Answer 1

You need to install the header (dev) files, I assume one of these:

apt-cache search mysql
...
libmysqlclient-dev - MySQL database development files
libmysqlclient16 - MySQL database client library
libmysql++-dev - MySQL C++ library bindings (development)
libmysqlcppconn-dev - MySQL Connector for C++ (development files)
...

--with-mysql-lib should not be necessary because the files will be installed in the default locations.
