  You need to compile MySQL support into PHP, and IIRC, the RPM doesn't come
with that.

If you haven't already installed MySQL from source, do that too.  It saved
me a lot of headaches.  I don't think you'll need the MySQL source to
compile PHP, though, the way you do the Apache stuff.

While you're at it, you might want to load mod_perl if you're interested in
making existing CGI scripts run faster & better.
