  I think you're misunderstanding *optional* modules.  The server comes
with plugins for LDAP, SQL (MySQL, PostGreSQL, DB2, Oracle, ...), and
many, many, more.  However, the build process checks for preconditions.
 If you don't have MySQL installed, it won't build the MySQL plugin.

  This shouldn't be a suprise.

  The Unixodbc headers and libraries.  *Read* the "configure" output
from the rlm_sql_unixodbc module.  It says what it's looking for.

  "-lodbc" tells the linker to find a file "libodbc*".

  Please do some reading on how Unix build systems work.
