 The most likely thing is that you don't have the mysql development package
 installed. argus needs that to get the headers and client libs. It's easy
 to check (see below) with:
        dpkg -l libmysqlclient-dev

 BTW, same is true for RedHat-like distros, although there you check with
        rpm -q mysql-devel
