Re: PHP config fails - cannot find lmysqlclient

[Keith Roberts <keith@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like you need to install the development files for 
mysql, so PHP can link to them. You need to install the same 
version of the mysql development  files that match your 
mysql installed package (5.0.27)

On Fedora Core 6 (32 bit) the required files for mysql are:

mysql        5.0.21-1.fc6@i386
mysql-devel  5.0.21-1.fc6@i386
