issues during install

Oh man this cannot be more frustrating... I'm following the installation instructions on http://www.php.net/distributions/bigmanual.html#install.unix.apache-module I get to number 13, the "make" piece in apache and I get this error! my_compress.o(.text+0x97): undefined reference to `uncompress' /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.a(my_compress.o): In function `my_compress_alloc': my_compress.o(.text+0x12b): undefined reference to `compress' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [target_static] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/apache_1.3.14/src' make[1]: *** [build-std] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/apache_1.3.14' make: *** [build] Error 2 What is the deal? This looks like a trivial error. Is there a way I can configure without such messages or am I incorrect and need to fix whatever this is? If so, does anyone know what the heck the prolem is? Thanks! -Matt
