configure error

err..

When I do the;
./configure --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd --with-mysql --with-system-regex

I get this error:
"configure: error: Invalid MySql directory - unable to find mysql.h"

What do I have to do??
the "mysql.h" file is locatet here: "/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql.h"

The problem is that Linux doesn't know to look in that directory for add-on libraries such as MySQL.

Edit /etc/ld.so.conf and add this line:

/usr/local/mysql/include

Then run 'ldconfig' to commit the changes to the system.

Recompile and you should be okay!

(BTW: All of the above will have to be done as root)

Thanks, but it still don't work!

If you need nore info:
I'm using RedHat6.0
I have installed MySql with no problems,
the same goes for Apache....

Anything else I need to do.?

------------------

If you are using RedHat RPM's it could be that you are missing the source for MySQL. The INSTALL.REDHAT file that came with PHP tar file has more information on it. I installed the source and development RPM's and it solved the problem.

------------------

No I'm not using RPM's. I was told that the best way to doo this was to compile the binary distribution.
I was following the tutorial found at devshed.com called "Setting Up Database Driven Websites"
With one exeption, I was using the latest versions of php3, mysql and apache!

Other suggestions?

These instructions blow by when you run 'make install' during the MySQL installation. Perhaps they hold the key to your problems:

Libraries have been installed in:
/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

Thank you all...

I found out myself
"--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/"

this did the trick...
