It looks like MySQL is not running or you do not have the MySQL client
software loaded

well, `ar -t` is only going to show you the files that were compiled
into the library file, not the symbol table where the function names
live.  `strings` works really well for that. ;)

As for actually fixing the problem, can you send me some more info.
Such as Operating System version/flavour and Barnyard version.  Also,
can you look in the file config.log for the line

        "checking for mysql_connect in -lmysqlclient"

and e-mail the surrounding lines?

Thanks,

Andrew
