check_mysql compile issue - x86_64

[Tom Brown]

Hi

I seems to be having an issue compiling the check_mysql plugin on a 
x86_64 box. I have MySQL installed and running and my compile line looks 
like...

./configure --prefix=/opt/nagios-2.0 --with-nagios-user=nagios 
--with-nagios-group=nagios --with-cgiurl=/cgi-bin --with-mysql=/opt/mysql

however as you can see from the error below mysql libs are not found

configure:9368: checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient
configure:9398: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/opt/mysql/include  -L. 
conftest.c -lmysqlclient -L/opt/mysql/lib/mysql -lz  >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient
| char mysql_init ();
| mysql_init ();
configure:9436: checking for mysql_close in -lmysqlclient
configure:9466: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -I/opt/mysql/include  -L. 
conftest.c -lmysqlclient   >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient
| char mysql_close ();
| mysql_close ();
configure:10217: WARNING: Skipping mysql plugin
configure:10219: WARNING: install mysql client libs to compile this 
plugin (see REQUIREMENTS).
ac_cv_lib_mysqlclient_mysql_close=no
ac_cv_lib_mysqlclient_mysql_init=no

however

$ ls -l /opt/mysql/lib/
total 6160
