Yes, thank you for pointing this out, however, since this is just a
one of database strictly for home use, I figured it would be okay.

BTW, my problem was fixed by building and installing php5. I'm not
sure if upgrading to 5 fixed the problem or the fact that the building
process linked against the new libmysqlclient.so binary that I dropped
in. I would've expected the dynamic-linker to take care of this for
php4 unless it was not compatible. Either way, I'm out of the woods,
thanks to all.
