Description:
------------
Configure PHP with pdo_mysql fails using --pdo_mysql=shared   
"checking for mysql_config... not found"

mysql_config exists and is "found" for other needs via --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql

configure for pdo does not seem to follow this path. 

TEMPORARY FIX is to symlink:
ln -s /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config /usr/bin/mysql_config

RESOLUTION:  Best would be for pdo_mysql option to follow the path specified in --with-mysql

ENVIRONMENT:
CentOS 5.2 - source-compiled MySQL5.0.51/Apache1.3.41/PHP5.2.8

Doesn't this work:

--with-pdo-mysql=shared,/usr/local/mysql

I just tried that and yes, the config seems to have run successfully.
I must have spent an hour trying to find the right way to do this... I've read postings that suggest others have the same issue.

If the --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql cannot be followed, can someone post the --with-pdo-mysql=shared,/usr/local/mysql to the configure and install instructions?

This is a geneal thing, MySQL and PDO independent. From ./configure --help:

Extensions:

  --with-EXTENSION=shared[,PATH]

    NOTE: Not all extensions can be build as 'shared'.

    Example: --with-foobar=shared,/usr/local/foobar/

      o Builds the foobar extension as shared extension.
      o foobar package install prefix is /usr/local/foobar/
