The .so file (without the .10 or .15) is just used for compile time linking, it's not used at runtime. No, the shared-compat is the correct one ot use here as some of the core Centos rpms may need a mysql v3 compatible client library. If you compile PHP and it finds v3 of mysql that means that you must have the old development libraries for mysql 3 installed in some capacity (I believe). What is the output of: rpm -qa --nosignature --nodigest | grep -i mysql This should give some clues. I would imagine (don't know) that PHP would use the mysql_config program to work out which mysql is installed and get the relevent cflags and linking options. For me this is provided by the MySQL-devel-community-5.0.27 package from MySQL... Is this definitely installed?
