koffice-2.2.1 and HAVE_MYSQL_OPTIONAL_EMBEDDED_CONNECTION failed

[lI]

Greetings,

I am trying to compile koffice-2.2.1.  cmake consistently gives the following in 
its output:
#################
performing tests  HAVE_MYSQL_OPTIONAL_EMBEDDED_CONNECTION
performing tests  HAVE_MYSQL_OPTIONAL_EMBEDDED_CONNECTION failed
###################
and fails to detect the mysql installation.

I have mysql-5.1.43  installed.  Could someone on list suggest the  compiler 
switches  to compile mysql  with the  features that koffice require  OR  
whatever   the fix is to enable detection of the  installed mysql.?

sincerely
