Building 5.2.12 w/MySQL on RedHat 64bit

Hi,

I am trying to build PHP 5.2.12 on RHEL ES5 (the latest and greatest Redhat)
64bit.  Why do I want to build PHP when Redhat  includes PHP?  The distro
includes PHP 5.1.6 and our CMS (ModX) doesn¹t get along with 5.1.6 because
of errors in the PDO layer.

Now that I¹ve gotten that off my chest, when I run the configure, I get the
error:

checking for MySQL support... yes
checking for specified location of the MySQL UNIX socket... no
checking for MySQL UNIX socket location... no
configure: error: Cannot find libmysqlclient under /usr.
Note that the MySQL client library is not bundled anymore!

The libmysqlclient libs are in /usr/lib64 and not /usr/lib (which contains
32 bit libs).

I have tried simply ‹with-mysql, ‹with-mysql=/usr/lib64 and
‹with-mysql=/usr/lib64/mysql.  Any idea how to successfully tell configure
where to look?

Thanks,
Rob
