It won't be that simple. In fact upon reading configure.in, I have found 
that:

* --enable/disable-mysql setting is ignored.

* mysql support isn't compiled in because mysql.h isn't found. And 
  it isn't found for 2 reasons. First it isn't searched for because
  if the mysql lib is found mysql support isn't used.
  The second reason is that it uses INCS to store the include flags 
  but this variable isn't used when compiling autoconf tests. it 
  should be CPPFLAGS instead.

* instead of mysql_config --cflags, mysql_config --include should be used.

I'll attach a patch that solves all those issues.

I also have remarked another things that is very broken: for
snmp net-snmp-config --cflags gives a lot of junk, although 
nothing at all is needed on fedora. For that I suggest just 
patching the configure.

It is what is said in the log. And I start it with the init
script. It only happens when I click on the interface.
