Playing around with a new machine, installed FBSD 6 and decided to try the
latest PHP5 and MySQL5 in the ports tree. Normally using PHP4 something
under apache 1.3.29 for ages now.

Did a portsnap to get the latest port tree.

Built from ports: apache 2.0.55, then mysql 5.0.19 and started it then
built php 5.1.2 and installed the php5 extensions for mysql.

Everything starts up ok, hit the server and do a phpinfo() ok things look
like they went ok, scroll down and see for the mysql settings:

Active Persistent Links 	0
Active Links 	0
Client API version 	5.0.19
MYSQL_MODULE_TYPE 	no value
MYSQL_SOCKET 	/tmp/mysql.sock
MYSQL_INCLUDE 	no value
MYSQL_LIBS 	no value

oh thats not good, seeing the INCLUDE and LIBS with 'no value'. So copy
over a small test db and some php scripts to the new server, all I get
output is 'error' when doing a sql query via php...nothing in
httpd-error.log like my other php4/apache1.3 machine either, so I dont
know how its failing.

Did I miss a --with-mysql somewhere while doing php?

Anyone have an idea here of what to try next?

Thanks.
