As far as I know PHP has it's own mysqlclient so You don't need mysql binary (client) , not libmysqlclient.so either... just config PHP with "--with-mysql" to be 100% check with php config instructions. ./configure --help | grep mysql I agree with Jim however that mysqlclient is very handy when testing and optimizing queries. Is there a special reason for You to NOT install mysqlclient ??
