Now try running your ./configure, make, and make install as you have listed above. By the way, your "--with-mysql=/usr/" does not look like a complete path to your MySQL installation. Of course, I cannot say for sure... you know better than I do where it is installed and what the directory is called. ===== ~Rachel __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun.
