  (1) Did the server find the MySQL headers at "configure" time?
  (2) Did the server build the rlm_sql_mysql.so file?

  The output of "configure" and "make" WILL say whether or not they're
building the module.  Yes, the output is long and full of things you
don't care about.  Dump the output to a file, and use "grep" to find
references to mysql.

  It sounds like you haven't installed the MySQL client libraries and
the client development headers.  Without those, the build system won't
be able to create rlm_sql_mysql.so.
