However, that seems an odd location. Perhaps something about default locations in DeadRat? In the first instance, if you aren't using _anything_ else that requires the mysql client library, try recompiling using just the --with-mysql flag, without a path, to use the inbuilt (in PHP) mysql client. -- David Robley Techno-JoaT, Web Maintainer, Mail List Admin, etc CENTRE FOR INJURY STUDIES Flinders University, SOUTH AUSTRALIA The ultimate reason is "because."
