You need to download and install MySQL[1] on your server, and then point to the install-directory when compiling PHP: --with-mysql=/path/to/mysql The configure-script should detect libraries in the MySQL-installation. See "configure --help" for more info. [1] http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ -- ~ksvee "When come back, bring pie!" -- Weebl
