Good point. And it reminds me of something else: I don't think the PHP
configure script >>dies<< if it can't find the mysql libraries. It just
prints out a warning message, which you can miss if you don't scan the
output from configure. That probably ought to be changed.
When everything is okay, the PHP configure script prints out an "okay to
proceed" message. If you don't see that, you've got a problem with mysql.

Hi,
Well, if MySQL wasn't running, you'd get a different error (like "can't
connect to....."). The actual error indicates that the MySQL function have
not been installed in the binary, most probably because it failed to find
the relevant libraries. I'm pretty sure the configure script ought to die
if you run it with misleading parameters, but I'm not sure. Try running
Configure --with-mysql
make clean
make
make install
or
Configure --with-msql=/usr/local
make clean
make
make install
Either of those should sort your problem out.
Thanks,
C.Davies
