PHP won't configure with MySQL

[Imad]

Hello All,

 

For some reason PHP won't configure with MySQL. I have all the PHP dependencies installed and up-to-date.

 

Operating System: Fedora Core 7

My MySQL version is:  5.1.31

PHP Version: 5.2.8

 

PHP Config Error:

checking whether to include mime_magic support... no
checking for MING support... no
checking for mSQL support... no
checking for MSSQL support via FreeTDS... no
checking for MySQL support... yes
checking for specified location of the MySQL UNIX socket... no
checking for MySQL UNIX socket location... no
checking for mysql_close in -lmysqlclient... no
checking for mysql_error in -lmysqlclient... no
configure: error: mysql configure failed. Please check config.log for more information.

 

PHP config.log Error:

    char xmlInitParser();
    int main() {
      xmlInitParser();
      return 0;
    }

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
