Note Submitter: tracy lam@null.com ---- the --with-mysql= /path/to/mysql as my own experience, the "/path/to/mysql" should be the path which include the "./lib" and "./include" sub directory. i configure the php v4 in my freebsd 4.5 box. use the following shell command: ./configure --with-imap --with-gettext --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-dbf --with-mysql=/usr/local (where "/usr/local" have sub-dir "/usr/local/lib" and "/usr/local/include") just for your reference, Dont just copy ^_^
