I'm sure this has been asked and answered, but I'll be darned if I can find it.
Here's my situation. Fedora Core 3. Linux novice. Not newbie, but not expert, either. Apache version from phpinfo() shows Apache/2.0.54 (Unix) PHP/5.0.4 Configure Command from phpinfo() shows './configure' '--with-apxs2=/urs/local/apache2/bin/apxs' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql' When I log into mysql in a terminal window, it shows that it is version 4.1.12-standard I installed Apache from source (I don't like the install that comes with Fedora), and php from source. I installed the binary version of mysql (http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-4.1/mysql-standard-4.1.12-pc-linux -gnu-i686.tar.gz/from/pick), as well as the Dynamic client libraries RPM (http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-4.1/MySQL-shared-4.1.12-1.i386.rpm /from/pick). No matter what combination of configure commands I use (I've done just --with-apxs2, just --with-mysql, both of them, make clean and then do it all over again, and so on....), I can't seem to get php to generate mysql.so. I know it came with 4.x, but it doesn't with 5.x I've done find / -name mysql.so, and it's just not there. Can someone please show me the errors of my ways, provide a manual that I didn't read, tell me it's a bug, and not my fault, or anything to keep me from ripping my hair out and going back to my windows installation of PHP/MYSQL/APACHE (which, btw, took me less than an hour to get running---why does Linux take soooo much longer to get working!!!!) Thank you a ton!
