LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] php 5.3 - configure: error: wrong mysql library version or lib not found.

Hello friends,

Well I am trying to compile php 5.3 from sources..

I've met every other required dependencies, but I am getting an error while configuring, which I don't seem to understand well.

I am configuring it using below

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-config-file-path=/etc --with-config-file-scan-dir=/etc/php.d --enable-mod-charset --with-libxml-dir --with-openssl --with-kerberos --with-pcre-regex --with-zlib --with-bz2 --with-curl --with-dbm --enable-exif --enable-ftp --with-gd --with-jpeg-dir --with-png-dir --with-zlib-dir --with-xpm-dir --with-freetype-dir --with-t1lib --enable-gd-native-ttf --enable-gd-jis-conv --with-gettext --with-gmp --with-mhash --with-imap-ssl --enable-intl --enable-mbstring --with-mcrypt --with-mssql --with-mysql --with-mysqli --enable-embedded-mysqli --with-apxs2 --with-snmp --enable-zip

The error I am getting is following

configure: error: wrong mysql library version or lib not found. Check config.log for more information.

I really searched alot but couldn't find anything valuable.

I have following mysql packages installed

Code:

mysql-server-5.0.77-3.el5

mysql-5.0.77-3.el5

perl-DBD-MySQL-3.0007-2.el5

mysql-bench-5.0.77-3.el5

mysql-devel-5.0.77-3.el5

My system is a 64 bit system...

I have libmysqlclient.so in /usr/lib64/mysql/
I also made a symlink of it in /usr/lib64

But still no luck.

Any help will be greatly appreciated .... :)

Thanks
