I've very basic understanding of linux systems, but I've a server which was setup a while ago to host some web apps. Recently I decided to test out and implement Sphinx but unfortunately I cant get the install to work.
I'm running a Debian Lenny distro and when I try to install sphinx it says -
checking MySQL include files... configure: error: missing include files.
******************************************************************************
ERROR: cannot find MySQL include files.
Check that you do have MySQL include files installed.
The package name is typically 'mysql-devel'.
If include files are installed on your system, but you are still getting
this message, you should do one of the following:
1) either specify includes location explicitly, using --with-mysql-includes;
2) or specify MySQL installation root location explicitly, using --with-mysql;
3) or make sure that the path to 'mysql_config' program is listed in
your PATH environment variable.
To disable MySQL support, use --without-mysql option.
******************************************************************************
I do have mysql 5.1 installed but I can't find the include files, AND one more thing.. I read around the net that I probably need libmysqlclient15-dev but when I try to install that using apt-get i receive the following error.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:

Can you help me out by suggesting how to install the required packages and run the Sphinx.
