dovecot - Oct 2013 - Upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2 on Debian

Hello,

I am currently running Dovecot 2.1 on current Debian and need to upgrade 
to 2.2 to use the replication features.

I understand that I therefore need to compile Dovecot myself. I am using 
a MySQL database for users authentication, therefore I need to compile 
Dovecot with mysql support:
*./configure --with-mysql*
Unfortunately this terminates with:
*configure: error: Can't build with MySQL support: libmysqlclient not found*

I installed libmysqlclient from debian repos, but it does not help.

Also, how do I then connect the newly installed dovecot to my existing 
/etc/init.d/dovecot script?

Thank you.
Lucas

You know, we go to the gym to keep the body fit. Similarly the mind needs some
rest. The mind is bombarded with so many impressions. Our mind has been
bombarded by impressions the whole time. It needs a different kind of rest other
than sleep. And meditation is such a rest. It calms the mind. energizes the
spirit and makes the body more strong and vibrant. improves the immune system.
The immune cells, the T-cell count go higher through Sudarshan Kriya and
meditation. And you feel so nice inside. - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

You need the libmysqlclient-dev package if you want to compile something 
with mysql. Did you install it?

No. Just use the excellent packages from http://xi.rename-it.nl/debian/
See http://wiki2.dovecot.org/PrebuiltBinaries for more information.

It says "Don't use them in production" on the label of the
repository,
but if you set the installed packages on hold via dpkg/apt-get so you
don't get suprised by sudden updates, this repository is safe to use.

Gr??e,
Sven.
