Don't do that: the OPTIONS stuff is commented out for a reason. Not
entirely sure what reason, but if it worked, it wouldn't be commented
out now, would it?

Using:
# make -DWITH_MYSQL
is the correct thing to do. However, you should make sure that you
aren't stumbling over the remains of previous compilation sessions.
First run:
# make clean
then run
# make -DWITH_MYSQL
and you should certainly see mysql mentioned during the configuration
and compilation steps.
Cheers,
Matthew
