For some reason, Red Hat separates the PHP-MySQL library from the
standard PHP package (they do the same with Postgres). This means you
have to also install this pacakges for PHP to talk to MySQL:
php-mysql-4.2.2-8.0.5.i386.rpm
This package contains exactly ONE file: /usr/lib/php4/mysql.so. Why Red
Hat does this, I don't know. You won't find it in the list of packages
to install from the package manager, but it is available on CD3.
