Installation errors

[graham]

After having no success to install version 4.04 using a tarball.
The configuration statement
"./configure --with-mysql=/mysql-3.22.32/lib/ --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs"
produces the error "Cannot find header files under /lib/"
I'm pointing the configure script towards /mysql-3.22.32/lib/ because this is where my file libmysqlclient.so lives and, without this, it produces an error telling me that it cannot find the library libmysqlclient, despite my having added a line into the /etc/ld.so.conf file and reloaded the system.
So I keep getting either one of these two errors. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

kind regards, Graham

Do this - leave the path out, just do

./configure --with-mysql

PHP has a built in support of mysql. If after configuration you'll get a warning - don't worry about it too much. It gave me a warning as well - and it works fine regardless.

If you'll decide to use an absolute path just point configuration script to the main directory. For example ./configure --with -mysql=/usr/local/mysql and leave it at that.

I had already gone down path, but I encountered the following problem stated below and hoped the compiling with the mySQL I have may solve it

The problem:
My code establishes a link with a database. Then, I open a table and select information. I then switch to another table and select some more information and carry on like this with further tables. PHP3 handled this no problem. But PHP4 won't attempt the query for the second table. It handles the select for the first table information OK, but then asked to retrieve information from another table - dies. I have no idea why this may be - do you?
