[Clas_offline] ClasTool/MapTools needs MySQLServer.h -- where is it?

Dear Craig,

If I understood correctly you're trying to build MapTools ?
Am I right ?
If this is the case, the MapTools was written at the beginning of the 
project when the mySQL library was not part of ROOT yet, I got the 
source code from Rene Brun (which was just a starting project), and it 
had MySQLServer.h there as include file. When they did include MySQL 
into standard distribution, I have wrote the new code which is MapUtils, 
and if you look in the Makefile for the ClasTool, it compiles only 
MapUtils, MapTools is a legacy library that I just did not remove from 
the distribution.

Why were you trying to build MapTools ?
