Could some XBMC guru please help ? I
have downloaded xbmc 12.1 and when
I run the .configure script, I get the error
message, as:
configure: Using Python 2.7
checking for main in -lGL... yes
checking for main in -lGLEW... yes
checking for main in -lGLU... yes
checking for mysql_config... no
configure: error: Could not find a required program. Please see the README for your platform.

Could you please indicate what exactly
I need to do to get around this issue ?
Any hints, suggestions would be of
immense help.Thanks in advance.

Welcome to xbmc forums.

Is there a reason why you are compiling this yourself, as opposed to downloading and installing a binary from http://xbmc.org/download/ ??

configure is telling you that it doesn't find mysql. You should consider reading README.linux as suggested

For compiling in Linux/Ubuntu see 3rd link on my signature, its a bit streamlined and follow the steps line/line to understand what readmes say.

Dear Sir,
I have tried that in the past. I was looking for XBMC for Fedora 15.
I was re-directed to RPM Fusion site, and they only have source
code. Is there any specific site from where I could download XBMC
binary for Fedora 15 ?

No, you must compile it yourself, see the forum search for a few topics on fedora + xbmc compiling, you need a bunch of dependencies.
