I always build my own packages, from the official MySQL source tarball and the MySQL package definitely includes all the header files. Besides, the official MySQL 5.0.24a package which ships with Slackware 11, also includes the header files; there is only one package. The Slackware folks rarely split packages like redhat/fedora/debian do. I have successfully built DSPAM 3.8.0 on another Slackware host with MySQL 4.1.7. However, I notice that there are fewer header files (32 to be exact) in the 5.0.37 and the 5.0.24a packages than the official binary version of 4.1.7 (59 header files). I will investigate further....
