might I suggest doing this first:

ln -s mysql-standard-4.0.17-pc-linux-i686 /usr/local/mysql

this will create a symbolic link called mysql in /usr/local that points to 
your install dir.

then you can do:

./configure -qt-sql-mysql -I/usr/local/mysql/include -L/usr/local/mysql/lib 
[other opts]

to configure qt.

the -I sets the include path, the -L the library path.

you will probably have to add /usr/local/mysql/lib to your /etc/ld.so.conf and 
run /sbin/ldconfig as well. (somebody correct me if this is wrong)

hope this helps
