Bastien, That seems to have worked. I can see php admin's home page. And it looks like PHP BB got installed. I understand the error message (basically, the compiled-in library is out of date with the server) but it could be A LOT clearer...it sounds like the MySQL client libraries are out of date and they're not. I know PHP and the other tools are all free. But this is a pretty basic compatibility issue that could be VERY easily documented right in the install file for PHP 4.x: if you are using version x.y or greater of MySQL, please be sure... would go a long way to eliminating this confusion.

You can get it if I remember well from the source distribution of MySql. The problem is that PHP comes pre-compiled with the older MySql client version so you would need recompile PHP. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo!
