PHP/MYSQL

I'm sure this has been asked and answered, but I'll be darned if I can find
it.

Here's my situation.

Fedora Core 3.  Linux novice.  Not newbie, but not expert, either.
Apache version from phpinfo() shows Apache/2.0.54 (Unix) PHP/5.0.4
Configure Command from phpinfo() shows './configure'
'--with-apxs2=/urs/local/apache2/bin/apxs' '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql'
When I log into mysql in a terminal window, it shows that it is version
4.1.12-standard

I installed apache from source (I don't like the install that comes with
Fedora), and php from source.  I installed the binary version of mysql
(http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/...4.1.12-pc-linux
-gnu-i686.tar.gz/from/pick), as well as the Dynamic client libraries RPM
(http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/...1.12-1.i386.rpm
/from/pick).

No matter what combination of configure commands I use (I've done
just --with-apxs2, just --with-mysql, both of them, make clean and then do
it all over again, and so on....), I can't seem to get php to generate
mysql.so.  I know it came with 4.x, but it doesn't with 5.x  I've done find
/ -name mysql.so, and it's just not there.

Can someone please show me the errors of my ways, provide a manual that I
didn't read, tell me it's a bug, and not my fault, or anything to keep me
from ripping my hair out and going back to my windows installation of
PHP/MYSQL/APACHE (which, btw, took me less than an hour to get running---why
does Linux take soooo much longer to get working!!!!)

Thank you a ton!

Thanks goes out to Michael W. who asked the obvious question:  "Have you
tried to see if mysql is working?"  Well, I hadn't.  I just assumed since I
didn't see the mysql section of the phpinfo output, that it wouldn't.  When
I installed phpmyadmin, it worked beautifully.  When I reloaded my phpinfo
page, it displayed the mysql section.

Go figure!
