Thanks Courtney, that's why i always prefer install from a minimal base system no matter what the distro is.

btw you must do
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib64/mysql ./configure --with-mysql

then LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib64/mysql make
running make without setting the ldflag will cause it to fail

might not be needed for make install but if make install fails then try

LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib64/mysql make install

setting LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib64/mysql ./configure –with-mysql works like a charm. When all the other crap failed. configure seems to ignore setting mysql's lib dir to lib64 so for anyone searching and all other fixes fail then this works when mysql has some 32 bit dependencies installed on a 64 bit OS

This fix also worked for me for finding gnu idn libraries.

Thanks

I tend to compile a complete LAMP stack under some special directory (so I know exactly what I’ve got, and don’t have to worry about breaking package management on my system by custom-compiling newer version of things.

So I end up with a directory like /web, which might contain openssl/ mhash/ libmcrypt/ curl/, etc.

Just today, I was doing this, but trying to link against the system’s mysql.

In that setup, –with-libdir=lib64 can cause problems if your various other support libraries stick things in lib/ (as opposed to lib64/). To fix just mysql, and allow other libs to look in lib/, you can try:

LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib64/mysql ./configure –with-mysql …
