Description:
------------
I'm trying to upgrade the Client API version, and I've upgraded mySQL, deleted the old libraries, and installed the new 4.1.7-Shared and devel packages, but with --with-mysql=user and --with-mysql=/path/to/mysql, the old client API version still sticks around.

With a new server I've installed, it pops up to 4.1.7 fine.



Reproduce code:
---------------
Here's my build:

'./configure' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-zlib' '--with-gd=/usr/local/lib' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/bin' '--with-png-dir=/usr/lib' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--with-curl' '--disable-debug' '--with-mcrypt=/usr/local/src/libmcrypt-2.5.7' '--with-mhash' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-mbstring'

Expected result:
----------------
Upgrade to 4.1.7

updated summary...kept old one.

If you want to use the new features of MySQL 4.1+, like the new binary protocol, you need to use PHP 5 and the MySQLi extension. (MySQLi, not MySQL.)

You cannot use the new client protocol with PHP 4.

No, I don't (at this point) care about using those features, I just want to know why the Client API version is setting at 3.X -- does this matter? It just seems weird, and thought it might explain some random mySQL errors (unable to save result set) that someone suggested were due to incorrect Client API.

In terms of mySQLi, is there a way to have the existing mysql_query / mysql_fetch_assoc use the mysqli variants without doing a huge find/replace on all code?

You probably have some rogue mysql headers around. Make sure to get rid of them all before installing new version.

--with-mysql=/path/to/mysql should work fine with the new client library.

Which files does it look for specifically? I think I've done a relatively thorough uninstall
