Suppose, just for the sake of argument, that your Apache had mod_auth_mysql compiled into it. Also suppose, for the sake of argument, that it was on version MySQL 3 when you did that. When you try to compile PHP, it *CANNOT* use MySQL 4 in the PHP Module, or Apache's mod_auth_mysql would get all fargled up. The CLI version, however, does not have that constraint. *MAYBE* configure is smart enough to figure this kind of stuff out, and that's why you got what you got. More likely, you've still got MySQL 3 installed somewhere on your system. If you're not willing to un-install that, and configure isn't finding the version you want to use, then start reading/hacking the Makefiles that configure builds. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
