That's what the mysql_config script is for: tim@cane:~$ mysql_config Usage: /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config [OPTIONS] Options: --cflags [-I'/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql'] --libs [ -L'/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql' -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lm ] --socket [/tmp/mysql.sock] --port [3306] --version [3.23.30-gamma] tim@cane:~$ mysql_config --libs -L'/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql' -lmysqlclient -lz -lcrypt -lm I'm not sure what the best way to use it in PHP is, but hopefully someone familiar with ext/mysql/config.m4 could fix that. If not, let me know and I'll try to look at it some time.
