Based on what I found by googling the title of your question - you might need to install libmysql-dev package.

If you are on centos then you can try:

yum install libmysql-dev

On ubuntu:

apt-get install libmysql-dev

You are right - a better manual for the pre-requisite installation would be great.

On recent Ubuntu versions the package libmysql-dev is not a valid choice anymore. Trying to install it on Ubuntu 11.04 I get this: unable to locate package libmysql-dev. In my case the EnvironmentError has gone installing libmysqlclient16-dev.
