I'm trying to install php so that is works with MySQL.

I installed the following ubuntu packages
  • mysql-server
  • mysql-client
  • mysql-common
  • mysql-client-5.0
  • libmysqlclient15off
  • libdbd-mysql-perl

MySQL seems to work fine.

I downloaded php 5.2.6. I like to build php from source so that I can configure it the way I want. I ran

Code:
$ ./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-gd --with-mysql --with-mysqli --with-pdo-mysql --enable-soap --with-libxml-dir

But I keep getting this error
Code:
configure: error: Cannot find MySQL header files under yes.
Note that the MySQL client library is not bundled anymore!
I downloaded the ubuntu source package mysql-dfsg-5.0_5.0.51a.orig.tar.gz, hoping that it would contain the header files I need. Then I set the --with-mysql option to the include directory in that source package, but I get the same error.

Any ideas as to how I can get php to configure?
