You are lacking the header files, as you don't say what OS you are using on
the machine you try to compile the php, I assume you are using the OS that you
have on the machine from where you post this, installing mysql on microsoft
don't provide you any header file, you need to download the mysql source and
take the header files from there and put those in the location where you have
header files on you install.

You can't tell to look at another machine for headers, you need those on the
local machine (you can of course use a network file system like nfs to mount a
remote location as a local directory).

Apache headers and deeding what features you want to include you may need
headers for the following:

bzip cdb libmcrypt curl libs/jpeg libpng zlib fdftk gd gdbm gmp libiconv
imap-c-client krb5 openldap libedit openssl mhash ming freetds recode readline
net-snmp libxml2 aspell sqlite htmltidy freetype sendmail and so on...
