Do the mysql_*() functions work anyway? I don't have a mysql.so file on
my system, but PHP-MySQL works anyway. I suspect that the mysql
extension may have been changed between PHP 4 and PHP 5 so that it no
longer needs mysql.so (I have the same versions of Apache, PHP, and
MySQL as you do.)

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!
