FreeBSD Port: mediawiki-1.5.8

[Alan Ridgeway]

Hello

FreeBSD 6.0 (Fresh install).

Mediawiki 1.5.8 from ports using the command portinstall.

During the setup it asked if I want to use PostgreSQL. I chose to do so
since
I prefer the features of PostgreSQL. Once the entire set of dependent ports
have been downloaded and installed and I got Apache 1.3.34 working with
my DNS,
the web page offered me to setup MediaWiki. When I choose to do so, I
got the following error:


  MediaWiki 1.5.8 installation

/Please include all of the lines below when reporting installation
problems./


    Checking environment...


      *Warning*: dl(): Unable to load dynamic library
      '/usr/local/lib/php/20020429/mysql.so' - Cannot open
      "/usr/local/lib/php/20020429/mysql.so" in
      */usr/local/www/data-dist/mediawiki/install-utils.inc* on line *17*
      Could not load MySQL driver! Please compile php --with-mysql or
      install the mysql.so module.


Hence it would seem that the choice to use PostgreSQL in the package is
not working correctly.
I believe I can fix the problem for myself(not new to FreeBSD or Linux,
but I am to PostgreSQL and Mediawiki).

If you have an easy fix for this, I will gladly upgrade my port.

Thanks
