It has nothing to do with mysql, it has to do with the why console is
set up.
If you want a more complete answer post to linux-admin news group.
to continue a command use a \ at the end ie.
./configure ---with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--with-with=what ever
or better still use a shell script i.e.
-------- make_php.sh ------
#!/bin/bash
./configure --with-mysq=/usr/local/mysql \
--with=what_ever
----- end of script
Save the script
and chmod 755 script.name
