RE: [SLUG] Mysql-PhP3

It's much easier to download MySQL as RPMs. They work well and will probably
run faster than link your own. (see the performance section of mysql manual)
You need mysql, mysq-client and mysql-devel rpms.

Greetings

I have been attempting to become familiar with Mysql and php3 but as yet
have had no joy. Can anybody see anything obvious below in where I am going
wrong.

I am running slackware 3.6.

I downloaded off the net.

apache_1_3_11_tar.tar and placed it in /usr/local
mysql-3_22_30_tat.tar and placed it in /usr/local
php-3_0_14_tar.tar and placed it in /usr/local

I then ran in this order.

tar xvfpz apache_1_3_11_tar.tar  (it worked)
tar xvfpz mysql-3_22_30_tat.tar   (it worked)
tar xvfpz php-3_0_14_tar.tar        (it worked)

I then went to the /usr/local/apache_1.3.11
I entered ./configure                    (it worked)

I then went to the /usr/local/mysql-3_22_30
I entered ./configure                    (it worked)

I then went to the /usr/local/mysql-3_22_30
I entered
./configure --with-apache=/usr.local/apache_1.3.11 --with-mysql=/usr/local/m
ysql-3.22.30

This returned the error
configure: error: Invalid MySql directory - unable to find libmsqlclient.a
or libmysqlclient.so.

I have checked in the my=/usr/local/mysql-3.22.30/client directory and those
files are there but even if I change the path to this new tree I still come
up with errors. Any ideas where I am going wrong.

Cheers Michael
