containing this information and other relevant information.

Works fine for me.
Hint: Don't try building Mysql yourself if you don't know how to do it
properly. Use the binary packages provided by MySQL.
And last but not least: report this to MySQL. It's not our fault if they
do things wrong.

Description:
------------
Please accept my apologies if this is already reported - I searched and
didn't find it.
When configuring PHP for x86_64, it is necessary to use:
--with-libdir=lib64
When you compile MySQL from source, it does not place its files in
lib64, but rather lib.
MySQL was configured using:
--prefix=/usr/local/mysql
Configuring PHP using:
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
fails with this:
checking for MySQL support... yes
checking for specified location of the MySQL UNIX socket... no
checking for MySQL UNIX socket location... no
configure: error: Cannot find libmysqlclient under /usr/local/mysql.
Note that the MySQL client library is not bundled anymore!
This fixes the problem:
cd /usr/local/mysql
ln -s lib lib64
When PHP is configured using --with-mysql=<mysql_dir> and
--with-libdir=<lib_dir>, it should search <mysql_dir>/<lib_dir> and then
<mysql_dir>/lib
Reproduce code:
---------------
./configure --with-mysql=<path/to/mysql> when MySQL is compiled from
source code
Expected result:
----------------
successful configure
Actual result:
--------------
configure fails with:
checking for MySQL support... yes
checking for specified location of the MySQL UNIX socket... no
checking for MySQL UNIX socket location... no
configure: error: Cannot find libmysqlclient under /usr/local/mysql.
Note that the MySQL client library is not bundled anymore!
