Description:
------------
Following the instructions from
http://www.phpmac.com/articles.php?view=252 I downloaded and installed
apache 2.2.2 and MySQL 5.022(max), however whence you try to ./configure
--with-mysql=path php5.1.4 will stall.

MySQL runs no problem on its own (from the mysql package installer for
OS X), PHP 5.1.4 runs good too (when installed sans --with-mysql=path),
I have a phpinfo page up, and Apache 2.2.2 runs EVEN from the system
preferences panel, but of course no MySQL support and hence
mysql_connect is, of course, dead.

this is the complete configure line I used:

% ./configure \
% --prefix=/apache2/php \
% --with-zlib \
% --with-xml \
% --with-ldap=/usr \
% --enable-cli \
% --with-zlib-dir=/usr \
% --enable-exif \
% --enable-ftp \
% --enable-mbstring \
% --enable-mbregex \
% --enable-dbx \
% --enable-sockets \
% --with-iodbc=/usr \
% --with-curl=/usr \
% --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \ (optional, required MySQL)
% --with-apxs2=/apache2/bin/apxs
% sudo make

Also, there is a macaddict forum discussion on this issue, seems it
could be Intel Macs or Xcode 2.3 or a combination of both.

Reproduce code:
---------------
macbuch:~ mauriciopastrana$ cd php-5.1.4
macbuch:~/php-5.1.4 mauriciopastrana$ ./configure --prefix=/apache2/php
--with-zlib --with-xml --with-ldap=/usr --enable-cli
--with-zlib-dir=/usr --enable-exif --enable-ftp --enable-mbstring
--enable-mbregex --enable-dbx --enable-sockets --with-iodbc=/usr
--with-curl=/usr --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
--with-apxs2=/apache2/bin/apxs

Thank you for using PHP.

Expected result:
----------------
success at make to execute make install. PHP with MySQL support.

Actual result:
--------------
crash at make:

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libs/libphp5.bundle] Error 1

It's a conflict between two libraries (libmysql and libcrypto) that PHP
links against. Nothing we can do about that as it's not a problem with
PHP.

Not sure if this is the proper path for this. But just in case someone
lands here looking for answers:

This is a MySQL bug and has been only commented in the code. The way to
solve it (on my platform) is to install MySQL/PHP/Apache using an old
version of MySQL and the libraries that come with it (I used 4.2), then
once it's running you can upgrade to mysql 5.022 and it will run latest
version.

this has been documented here:
