I tried that... what I don’t know is WHAT libraries it’s looking for. Rather than saying “it’s looking for the mysql libraries”, which I already know, can you list the file names?

I’ve already done this. I’ve also tried including the --disable-shared option, which was mentioned in the all-mighty FAQ... didn’t work.

It doesn’t give me back any information at all, except on builds that were installed by the system when it was first built.

‘rpm –qa | grep mysql ‘ gives me only 3 packages…
those packages were installed at build time. And before you ask, yes, I DID
install all the mysql packages, and all of them are working (I can access the
databases both at the machine and remotely). Is there any other command that I
might not have thought of to give me information on an rpm that I’ve
installed?
