I have mysql installed completely in one dir: /usr/local/mysql. However, from some info, I gathered that when you specify --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql (I will refer to the location as $MYSQLDIR) then php will look for $MYSQLDIR/include/mysql Do I then create links in $MYSQLDIR/include/mysql -> $MYSQLDIR/include ? What about libs? All these weird behavior is not documented and I am left to wonder what PHP is looking for and what is the right location.
