There was a MySQL file or directory in the PHP distribution, and, I think, in at least one more place, might have been Apache. If you want to use MySQL with PHP, you may need to re-install PHP (and Apache maybe?) as well. Hopefully, I'll have enough time to actually try an install from source tonight, so I can tell you where things went. I mentioned this to you off list, I'll mention it again for people who might search the archives.

And don't forget to flush the buffers when you're done.
