--with-mysql configure problems.  Any combination of
--with-mysql=/usr
--with-mysql=/usr/local
--with-mysql=/usr/include
--with-mysql=/usr/include/mysql

  fails.  Rasmus replied it was adequately explained in the install file.  Perhaps their is an updated install file?  I looked:
-----------------------------------------

  I did not find this explained in the INSTALL file that came with the
4.0.1pl2 download.

  It says:
   For MySQL support, since newer versions of MySQL installs its various
   components under /usr/local, this is the default.  If you have
   changed the location you can specify it with: --with-mysql=/opt/local
   for example.  Otherwise just use: --with-mysql

  this does not indicate that you should use /usr only.  There is no
indication in that file that _both_ the library and header files need to
be found, and that is the path you should choose.

  The ./configure script puts out the following warning:
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
|                        *** WARNING ***                             |
|                                                                    |
| You chose to compile PHP with the built-in MySQL support.  If you  |
| are compiling a server module, and intend to use other server      |
| modules that also use MySQL (e.g, mod_auth_mysql, PHP 3.0,         |
| mod_perl) you must add
 | --with-mysql=/path/to/mysql to your configure line.                |
....

 furthermore, when you follow the INSTALL FILE, (--with-mysql=/usr/local)
you get this error:
...
checking for MySQL support... yes
configure: error: Cannot find header files under /usr/local


  And, when you do what you said (--with-mysql=/usr), you get this error:
...
checking for MySQL support... yes
configure: error: Cannot find header files under /usr

  I get this same error messages with /usr/include, or /usr/include/mysql.
  I am reopening this bug with the information I have just provided.

 both header and library files, and since there are no library files
 anywhere under /usr/include, you have to provide the lowest-level path
 under which both the .a or .so and the .h files exist.  And in your case
that would be /usr
