Hello Ravi, Well, in the ./configure script, when I tried using just the --with-mysql argument (without any argument like =/usr/local/mysql), the configure script gave me this warning:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | *** WARNING *** | | | | You chose to compile PHP with the built-in MySQL support. If you | | are compiling a server module, and intend to use other server | | modules that also use MySQL (e.g, mod_auth_mysql, PHP 3.0, | | mod_perl) you must NOT rely on PHP's built-in MySQL support, and | | instead build it with your local MySQL support files, by adding | | --with-mysql=/path/to/mysql to your configure line. | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ Because I do intend to eventually add mod_perl and possibly others, I posted to this list (mysql) and asked for advice about what argument to give to this configuration option, several respondents said "you should use --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql". Here is the link to this thread (from the archives): http://lists.mysql.com/cgi-ez/ezmlm-cgi?1:mss:91900 Apparently the built-in MySQL support in PHP4 doesn't allow for other DSO modules to work on that MySQL support (which makes sense). You mention that on OS X it could be more trouble than it's worth... possibly, but I have everything up and running except for this one thing -- I need to have the PHP4 DSO link to lmysqlclient.so file! I can get the PHP4 DSO up and running just fine without the "--with-mysql" option, so I don't think that I'll have a problem once I find that lmysqlclient.so file. Thanks for your suggestions, though -- if I don't hear back about lmysqlclient.so then I'll just have to do it with the built-in MySQL support and worry about mod_perl later in the future.
