Is there any problem with doing something like this: /path/to/mysql_config --socket in ./configure to get the socket path? I think that this way is a little more likely to get it right in the case that mysqld is not running at the time of configure. I suppose we do not even know the "/path/to" in configure when using the bundled mysql libs tho huh? -James
