PHP had a built-in MySQL for awhile as I recall. You had to explicitly use --with-mysql=/usr/local (or wherever you put your mysql headers/libs) to make it choose the one you wanted. Even if it's not using built-in, it may have found an "old" install of your MySQL rather than your shiny new 5.0.45 version. config.log will tell you what happened. config.nice will tell you what you typed for ./configure You definitely will want to fix this before you do anything else. hth -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
