I had actually emailed Patrick concerning this, and here is a bit of his
reply:
The MySQL folks stated that they would
have a solution within the month so we'll wait to see how that
goes. The problem is that the client library is now GPL instead
of LGPL and the wording surrounding any exceptions to the license
is ambiguous. They agree. A few packages in the distro can not
link against the libmysqlclient.so in 4.0.
So.... instead of ripping out the packages, PHP MySQL being one of
them, we decided revert back to 3.23.
A while ago I was debugging some apache/php/mysql problems. MySQL's php
guy recommends that for php, build with the php included libraries.
(php.$ver/ext/mysql/libs)
I hope this helps...james

Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and
no 'mute rays.' And even if there were, waxed paper is
no defense. I tried it. Only tinfoil works.
