You would need to build the libraries on a machine 
with exactly the same dependencies. The various executables 
and intermediary libs often depend on version specific shared libraries 
and sometimes in very intricate ways -- so you are more than 
likely going to mess up somewhere if you try copying things around.

A package manager can keep track of all those dependencies for you.

Assuming you can use apt-get (or some other package manager).
which will take care of the dependencies, you should use that   
to install MySQL and then rebuild against that installation.
