Help with Linux RPM install (ODBC access)

Hi, I have just installed RedHat 7 with support to PHP4 and MySQL. phpinfo() reports the following at the 'configure command' entry: './configure' '--target=i386-redhat-linux' '--prefix=/usr' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--disable-debug' '--enable-pic' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs' '--disable-static' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' '--with-regex=system' '--with-gettext' '--with-gd' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-png' '--with-zlib' '--with-db2' '--with-db3' '--with-gdbm' '--enable-debugger' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-yp' '--enable-ftp' '--without-mysql' '--with-xml' Although it shows option '--without-mysql' at the 'MySQL' section it reports that MySQL is enabled, and indeed we can connect to our MySQL database normally. We need though to have access to MySQL through ODBC and would like to configure PHP to run with 'unixODBC' compiled. I can see that ODBC support is currently not built in, because invoking function odbc_connect() I receive the following message: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: odbc_connect() in /var/www/html/odbc.php on line 6 RedHat reports that the RPM package for unixODBC is installed, but how do I make it to be built with PHP? And why does the compile options show that MySQL support was not built in and in fact it is? Is this because of the way RPMs function? That is, I believe I should really not rebuild PHP with commands './configure', 'make' and 'make install' but instead work with the RPM RedHat system. Any hints for a Linux RedHat newbie? TIA, Paulo
