Hi Steve,

No, if you're using MySQL, you don't need PostgreSQL libraries... if
you're not using any database, you don't need any database. =)

Some people like MySQL, some like PostgreSQL, some like Redis, some use
Casandra, sqllite, or Oracle.

Different strokes for different folks.

If you look at the install guide on the Kamailio website, it does not
force you to install postgresql libraries and is geared towards MySQL:
