Cannot find MySQL header files...

[csbdeady]

Hi

I have installed MySQL 4.0 through RPMs from the mysql.com web site.

Now when I use ./configure with PHP, the line:

--with-mysql=/usr/bin/mysql

The configure starts correctly but goes cold turkey on me with:

configure error: Cannot find MySQL header files under /usr/bin/mysql

I am pretty sure that the RPM installed to /usr/bin/mysql .

Did you install the mysql-devel package?

Without that, the libraries and header files will not be available to PHP.

Also, the path component of "--with-mysql" is not asking for the path to the mysql command-line application. It's expecting the path to file those libraries and header files. I generally use "--with-mysql=/usr" and let the configure script find it for itself.
