while doing configure in php-5.2.4

# ./configure --prefix=/opt/freeware --with-
apxs2=/opt/freeware/apache/bin/apxs --disable-cgi --enable-cli --

I'm using RedHat EL5 64bit and I encounter the same problem.

I installed both 32 and 64 version of libmysqlclient.so which located in /usr/lib/mysql and /usr/lib64/mysql respectively. Sounds like the configure script seek for only /usr/lib/mysql. Here is the error in config.log

Sorry I missed the version of PHP I tried. It failed on PHP 5.2.10 and ALL php 5.3 CSV. But it works for PHP 5.2.9
