Don't do that: the OPTIONS stuff is commented out for a reason.  Not
entirely sure what reason, but if it worked, it wouldn't be commented
out now, would it?

Using:

    # make -DWITH_MYSQL

is the correct thing to do.  However, you should make sure that you
aren't stumbling over the remains of previous compilation sessions.
First run:

    # make clean

then run

    # make -DWITH_MYSQL

and you should certainly see mysql mentioned during the configuration
and compilation steps.

	Cheers,
