mysql_connect - undefined function error

[marshall_cool]

Well...it seems this is a pretty common error, although I have yet to find a solution. Have scoured many sites.

Here's the config...

RedHat 8
Apache 2.0.40
PHP 4.2.2
(all default from the redhat install)

phpinfo(1) yields that included in config is
--with-mysql=shared,/usr

mysql files are in /usr/bin, lib in /usr/lib/mysql.

mysqld running fine, database built and users assigned.

php files with non-db commands running fine.

Any and all thoughts helpful!!

Thanks

Appears that even though you have --with-apache set on build, you still need mysql.so loaded. RedHat fails to mention this or give you an option on install. I downloaded rpm, installed and connecting fine.
