i have tried every which way.
from what i have read, there are some issues with the mysql package in 
that there is no supplied libmysql.a
i have followed various recipes explaining how to build it and what to 
pass to the configure line.

so far i have failed to build a qt with mysql support compiled in.
will continue to try to get this to work

if somebody who does not exactly what to do would be so kind as to 
update the wiki - i think a lot of people would be grateful.

regards
