Cannot compile php and mysql together, looked around quite a while

[gooderthanyou@gmail.com]

Alright i've looked a ton of topics and most of them are unresolved...

configure: error: Cannot find MySQL header files under usr/local/mysql.
Note that the MySQL client library is not bundled anymore!

I gunzipped mysql, did tar -xvf to the resulting tar, moved the mysql
folder to usr/local/... and I been able to log into mysql and all that
good stuff so I guess its installed. just when I try to configure php
with mysql it gives me that error when trying to fetch mysql!!

inside my php-5.1.1 folder I typed this from tutorials

../configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs
--with-mysql=usr/local/mysql

apache is fine just cannot do it "with" mysql...

BTW i'm a noob, I might just go to a younger php since it includes
mysql with it!

Thanks in advance

Is mysql actually installed in /usr/local/mysql? And do you have the
development version or the runtime version? Where's your mysql.h file?

That's a relative path.

That was using the binary distribution of MySQL presumably?
Where did you move it to - "usr/local" is a relative path, but relative to
where? Did you in fact move it to the expected "/usr/local" directory?

Relative path again, you most likely want --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql

Try "--with-mysql=/usr/local"

Yes I "moved" it to "/usr/local" ... thats where it is..

And as I said i've gotten into mysql... made a table, deleted tables,
created accounts, its just not recognized when php code tries to call
mysql which I attempted to compile.

Thanks anyhow

Re: Cannot compile php and mysql together, looked around quite a while

oops =/usr/local/mysql/

forget that last last slash! Sorry guys but you were right,...

I happened to put usr/local/ but that wasn't the right directory
anyhow and didn't do the slash when mysql folder ... doh
