No, I realise that, and that means I'm extra grateful :)

Your guess is correct - how should I have installed it? RPMs?  And if so, which
ones, because there is a plethora..

Given that mysql is located in /usr/local/mysql and that my configure option
was:
./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql

If I've understood you correctly, I should be using:

./configure --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql

AM I getting warm?

Thanks for your suggestions though :)
