GET MYSQL RECOGNIZED

Hello: Thanks for all of those who have submitted thier suggestions. Alas, I'm still not able to get MySQL recognized as an extension when I use the phpinfo() function. I tried several suggestions. 1. Tried "./configure --option1 ...-optionn | grep -i mysql". That helped me to recognize that MySQL wasn't in the right place. I have ran the configure for MySQL again, adding "--prefix=/usr/local/mysql" to it. But still no change. 2. I tried compiling with the --with-apxs extension, even gone so far as to add a path when it didn't work. Ultlimately, it would tell me that apxs may be broken. I went to apxs and tweaked with it as per instructions to see the FAQ in 4.11 section. I've made the changes as it had asked, but still it would not recognize the script as anything less than broken via ./configure. 3. The last config I've attempted was the following... .configure --with-apache=/usr/local/src/apache/apache_1.3.12 --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql As I've stated, it's still not giving me MySQL in the extensions section. I could really use some advice as to how to go about this. I am using Redhat 6.2 and MySQL 3.22.32. Please advise....thanks....
