Yes, pretty sure:

$ ldd /usr/lib/php4/mysql.so
libmysqlclient.so.10 => /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.10 (0x00f72000)

I tried compiling PHP with '--with-mysql', '--with-mysql-dir=/usr'  
and without explicitly specifying it, always the same outcome. I'm  
kinda surprised that even the built-in mysqlclient libs don't work as  
I expect them to.

I was thinking about either renaming .so.10 or symlinking it to .so. 
15, but I'd really prefer to not mess with these kind of things by  
hand and rather have everything updated correctly with the correct  
procedure of RPMming/compiling.

Chrs,
