Re: PHP config fails - cannot find lmysqlclient

Sounds like you need to install the development files for mysql, so PHP can link to them. You need to install the same version of the mysql development files that match your mysql installed package (5.0.27) On Fedora Core 6 (32 bit) the required files for mysql are:

mysql        5.0.21-1.fc6@i386

mysql-devel 5.0.21-1.fc6@i386 HTH Keith Roberts On Tue, 21 Aug 2007, PBroome wrote:
