Im compiling php to work with apache 1.3 via apxs with this
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/httpd/bin/apxs --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/httpd/conf/ --with-mysql --enable-debug=no --enable-track-vars
but i have mysql (compiled from source) installed in /usr/local/mysql/
ive already installed the mysql-devel rpm (generic linux x86 off mysql site)
but i get this when i try to run make
gcc: /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so: No such file or directory
make: *** [libphp5.la] Error 1

how can i get this file? or can i direct the configure to my mysql installation?
Thanks for the help

i wouldnt install the devel-packages by rpm if the server is compiled from source. But you can type
locate libmysqlclient.so
and find the real path to the lib this way. Then create a symlink
ln -s /path/to/libmysqlclient.so /usr/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so
as root but probably the rpm will still be missing sth.
cheers,j

If you have compiled mysql from source, then you need to point the configure script to the mysql installation e.g.
