Note Submitter: pvenable at cs dot cmu dot edu ---- I had some difficulties installing PHP with MySQL support on RedHat-7.1, but it works at last. :) Here are a few of the unexpected things I had to do to get it working: After installing apache, mysql, and php4, I found a php-mysql rpm, since the php4 rpm lacks MySQL support. (I also had to find a few more rpms before this one would install.) Then, I had to make sure and export the path of the library libgcc_s.so (export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib) before running the Apache httpd. Otherwise PHP fails to load the MySQL library, which apparently depends on libgcc_s.so, but doesn't give much useful feedback except that the MySQL-specific commands you're using are unrecognized. I hope this saves someone else from going through the hours of hassle it took me to figure it out!
