<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I'm trying to upgrade PHP on a RedHat box. I've downloaded the PHP and can get it to compile but not with the MySQL option.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The existing phpinfo() give the configure directive</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">--with-mysql=shared,usr</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">But I can't get that to work. I've tried various other directories but they all come back with the same error</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">checking for MySQL support... yes, shared</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">checking for specified location of the MySQL UNIX socket... no</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">checking for MySQL UNIX socket location... no</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">checking for mysql_close in -lmysqlclient_r... no</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">checking for mysql_errno in -lmysqlclient_r... no</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">configure: error: Try adding --with-zlib-dir=<DIR>. Please check config.log for more information.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I've tried guessing </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">--with-zlib-dir=usr/lib/mysql</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">among others but the error is still the same (Without 'Try adding --with-zlib-dir=<DIR>')</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The config.log file isn't much use, there's less info than on screen.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I've got this which is good but I'm not in a position to put a new MySQL on the box at the moment.</FONT>
