I've just tried this with my own proftpd RPM. I found that if I specified the 
sql_mysql module without also specifying the sql module (first) then I got the 
same problem.

So I needed:

rpmbuild --rebuild --with mod_sql --with mod_sql_mysql proftpd.src.rpm

You might want to look for a similar option in your spec file.

I've now fixed my own RPM so that it automatically includes mod_sql if the 
mysql or postgres backends are selected. You can get the SRPM (1.2.10rc3) from:

http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/misc/

if you're interested. The binary RPMs don't have SQL support so you won't want 
those.

Cheers, Paul.
