For MySQL 4.1+ you can not use --with-mysql. You have to use
--with-mysqli. If you were to look at the documentation for that
specific extension you would find it there.

Furthermore the best way to make sure php finds the correct libs for
mysql is to do: --with-mysql=/path/to/mysql_config

Hope that helps.
