1. Run configure with this script:

CFLAGS="-fPIC $RPM_OPT_FLAGS"  LDFLAGS=-s ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs
 --prefix=/usr  --with-config-file-path=/etc/httpd --with-zlib --enable-safe-mode  --enable-track-vars --with-sybase=/opt/sybase --disable-debug --with-mysql=/usr/include/mysql --enable-magic-quotes --enable-memory-limit   

(I also tried it with:  --with-mysql  and no path)

2.  Get this error:

checking for MySQL support... no
configure: error: Invalid MySQL directory - unable to find mysql.h under /usr/in
clude/mysql  

3.  Background info:

Ran as root.
bash 1.14.7
MySQL-3.22.23b

# l -d /usr/include/mysql/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         1024 Jun 30 21:30 /usr/include/mysql/

# l  /usr/include/mysql/mysql.h
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         7612 Jun 30 21:18 /usr/include/mysql/mysql.h

4.  I can see that the configure script is testing for /usr/include/mysql/mysql.h
but I do not see why it is failing.  FWIW, I could use the same script
with php 3.0.12 with no problem.   And I can see from other bug reports
that others have been able to compile in mysql.  So I am perplexed about
what is wrong.

You need to specify the base directory, not the directory where the mysql.h file can be found.

E.g. if you installed MySQL in /usr, --with-mysql=/usr is the parameter you should pass to PHP
