libmysqlclient not installed or wrong lib islocation

Encountered the same error on centos 7 with mariadb 10.1 from mariadb repo + php5.6 from IUS repo (worth mentioning since script looks for mysql libs in PHP_LIBDIR). Solved this by defining MYSQL_LIB_DIR like this $ MYSQL_LIB_DIR=/usr/lib64 ./configure

[remicollet]

Use remi repository which provides this extension and lot of others instead of trying to build from sources.

@remicollet 's suggestion is indeed what I recommend you to do. However, I should support native compilation too.

Does the following patch solve the issue?:

[remicollet]

@patrickallaert Using --with-libdir=lib64 sould be enough

BTW proper fix is probably to rely on mysql_config output (and perhaps #45...)
