OK firstly take this advice with a grain of salt as I can't program in C, but ...
It looks like you are missing your MySQL header files ( mysql.h errmsg.h ).
If you installed MySQL via an RPM or something, check where you got it from to see if there are any optional packages. I don't know what they'd be called - development tools, header files, something ...
Otherwise consider uninstalling MySQL and reinstalling from either source or binaries from MySQL. Of course there are a few things to consider before doing this, such as backing up your data and figuring out how to restore from the backup *before* uninstalling.
You also *might* be OK just downloading the source from MySQL and grabbing whatever header files DBD::MySQL complains about and chucking them in /usr/local/mysql/include/mysql ( see your text above for where I got this path from ) or whereever else they go on your system. See my first comment regarding this. I'm not sure what effect this would have if the header files are more recent than the server on your system ... assuming there is a server on your system.
