database: mysql support is not compiled in this copy

 Check your configuration file to be sure you did not mis-spell
"mysql".
 If you did not, you will need to reconfigure and recompile ensuring
that
 you have set the correct options to the configure script. Type 
 "./configure --help" to see options for the configure script.

Fatal Error, Quitting..

which is meant with
database: mysql support is not compiled in this copy

greeting
Ali
