Compiling Pure-FTPD with MySQL Support in RHEL5 x86_64

I really had a hard time getting pure-ftpd 1.0.22 to compile properly witih mysql support on a RHEL5 x86_64 server.  It turns out that the mysql libraries path in the configure script is incorrect.  I’m not sure if this is just a problem with my particular configuration or with the way pure-ftpd tries to figure out where the mysql libraries are.  In any case, I modified the configure script to use mysql_config with appropriate options to set the mysql include paths and lib paths as appropriate.  Assuming mysql_config is in your path, I wouldn’t expect this to ever fail.

If anyone else has this problem, just apply the following patch to the configure script:
