Les Neste 678-778-0382 http://www.lesneste.com IANARH expert but: it'll be looking for /var/lib/mysql/include/*.h and I belive that if you have installed mysql from an rpm that you don't get that stuff by default - there is another RPM with mysql source and library stuff in it. If you don't need any other mysql related stuff you could try using the php builtin mysql support by using just --with-mysql and not specifying a path. -- David Robley | WEBMASTER & Mail List Admin RESEARCH CENTRE FOR INJURY STUDIES | http://www.nisu.flinders.edu.au/ AusEinet | http://auseinet.flinders.edu.au/ Flinders University, ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA
