How to compile PHP5 when you have installed mysql, but - you can't find the "mysql header files" or - get this error: Cannot find MySQL header files under /usr/ If you want to use mysql 4.0 (*not* 4.1 or even higher!) just download & extract the latest mysql4.0 binary distribution to e.g. /root/mysql40/ but don't start it (it even should not work, if you have a mysql server already running) Then use --with-mysql=/root/mysql4 within your php5 configuration. After compiling/installing (make, make install), you may delete the /root/mysql40/ directory, or keep it for later versions of php5. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/faq.databases.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56595 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56595&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56595&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56595&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56595&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56595&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56595&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56595&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
