If you are using the MySQL RPMS for RedHat, They install in the /usr directory. (Redhat dows things differently) So it would be ./configure --with-mysql=/usr for PHP compilation.
as far as upgrading... I have used RedHat for a long time, and have found that in their newest distos, it is extremely difficult to customize your computer. Escpecially with adding your own Kernel. I have stayed with 6.2 because for the most part, the directory structures comply with the source packages most people make available. As long as you keep current with important packages, there really isn't much difference in the newer versions, other than a new GLIBC, but you can add that to a 6.2 distro easily. Hope that helps Brian Austin Neil Zanella wrote: > If I were you I would simply upgrade to Red Hat 7.1 or better 7.2. > It probably takes just as much time to install a whole distro > than having to worry about installing apache, then mysql, then > php, all over again, and most likely getting something wrong > and having to go back.
