Hi Srinivas,

you need to install some compile time dependencies before compiling the server 
if you want to use a database, e.g. libmysqlclient and such. Its not 
necessary to have a running database installation for compilation and basic 
installation steps. Please take a look into the documentation of the redhat 
linux, how to install new packages. It should be possible to install the 
necessary mysql libs and development packages through the redhat package 
management.

You find more up to date installation instructions (for installing from the 
svn, but they also apply mostly for building from tar.gz) in the wiki at:
