The version of Apache was installed by RPM...Current version of PHP was also installed by RPM...however MySQL was not...
It is six of one/half dozen of the other...when build PHP from source, I can build the path-to-mysql in but not the path to apache (is was installed from RPM)...PHP from RPM can see Apache but not MySQL path...
I really don't want to re-install Apache from source...I can't really re-install MySQL from an RPM...what do I do??!!
