Configure : error : cannot find MySQL header files under /usr (FIXED)

Hi,

As part of LAMP installation and configuration on my deployment server CentOS-6, I was configuring PHP with MySQL support using the following,

./configure –with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs –with-mysql

And I got the following error:

configure: error: Cannot find MySQL header files under /usr.
Note that the MySQL client library is not bundled anymore!

I fixed it by installing mysql-devel by issuing the following command:

# yum install mysql-devel
And checked the installation using,
# find / -name mysql.h
