Try again.  It's working just fine for me.  From phpinfo() of php-4.1.1
compiled from source against mysql installed via Red Hat's rpms, using
./configure --with-mysql=/usr:

                                 mysql
                                      
                MySQL Support                  enabled
           Active Persistent Links 2
                Active Links       2
             Client API version    3.23.41
              MYSQL_MODULE_TYPE    external
                MYSQL_SOCKET       /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
                MYSQL_INCLUDE      -I/usr/include/mysql
                 MYSQL_LIBS        -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient

My guess is that you've got portions of two different installs of php and / 
or mysql around, and php's configure is getting confused....

later,
chris
