If you grab the PHP code and do: ./configure && make there is absolutely no MySQL. You have to explictly do --with-mysql to get MySQL support just like you have to enable other non-default extensions. What the Oracle/MySQL guys are suggesting is simply that when you do specify --with-mysql the default should be mysqlnd. -Rasmus
