Yeah, newer versions of PHP require you to specifically include MySQL 
support (it used to be turned on by default, IIRC).  So in your 
'configure' line you'll need to add

--with-mysql=/usr/local

appropriate to wherever your MySQL libraries are installed.

An easy check (other than phpinfo() which will tell you about MySQL 
support) would be to see if libphp4.so links to libmysqlclient.so:

# ldd /usr/lib/httpd/modules/libphp4.so

(blah blah blah)
libmysqlclient.so.12 => /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so.12

Good luck!
