[Koha] Almost Precisely the Same Error as May 7 Post re: DBD:mysql

Dear Colleagues: On a RHEL5 (5.2) server, running Mysql 5, I am getting essentially the same errors as was seen in Messieur Laurent's post. Alas, the suggested solution, to run libmysqlclient15-dev, does not seem applicable to my distro. Suggestions would be MOST welcome! Best, Petrus
