Hi,
After discovering that the prepackaged RedHat RPMs don't have MySQL or unixODBC support compiled in, I've tried to compile PHP4.1.1.

If I do:
configure [--other options] --with-mysql,

I get the warning that if you want to run other mysql modules you need to link to local mysql libraries. Is the warning accurate, or can I just compile with PHP's built-in MySQL support?

The MySQL libraries I've installed by RPM, including the headers (*-devel).
However, configure seems to be looking for libmysql.la, which is nowhere to be found in any of those RPMs. What is this library, and how can I get it without building MySQL?

Many thanks,

Eric
