Thread:Project:Support desk/Mysql database driver for PHP

I am getting the following error when going through the wiki web installation:

"Could not find a suitable database driver! You need to install a database driver for PHP. The following database types are supported: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQLite, IBM DB2. If you are on shared hosting, ask your hosting provider to install a suitable database driver. If you compiled PHP yourself, reconfigure it with a database client enabled, for example using ./configure --with-mysql. If you installed PHP from a Debian or Ubuntu package, then you also need install the php5-mysql module. "

I'm sure this is probably a simple fix, but I can't seem to figure it out....I have the proper packages installed: rpm -qa | grep mysql mysql-libs-5.1.52-1.el6_0.1.x86_64 mysql-server-5.1.52-1.el6_0.1.x86_64 php-mysql-5.3.3-3.el6_1.3.x86_64 mysql-5.1.52-1.el6_0.1.x86_64 mod_auth_mysql-3.0.0-11.el6_0.1.x86_64

rpm -qa | grep php php-cli-5.3.3-3.el6_1.3.x86_64 php-mysql-5.3.3-3.el6_1.3.x86_64 php-common-5.3.3-3.el6_1.3.x86_64 php-ldap-5.3.3-3.el6_1.3.x86_64 php-5.3.3-3.el6_1.3.x86_64 php-pdo-5.3.3-3.el6_1.3.x86_64

My phpinfo page shows the ./configure with many options, but not with mysql....instead I see this: '--without-mysql'

Does it need to have '--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql' ? How am I supposed to do that? The php package was installed via yum....I tried reinstalling it but it shows the same. My guess is that this package was not built to work with mysql....is a manual install of php mandatory for this to work? Or are there any rpm packages that can do this instead (I prefer to have installable packages instead of manual installs for easy upgrades in the future).
