Do I have to pass a parameter to --with-mysql when configuring?

If you don't use the --with-mysql directive, PHP won't know how to talk 
to MySQL.

If you use --with-mysql but leave off the =/path/to/mysql/installation, 
the installer looks in the standard places for MySQL and hopefully finds 
it.

A typical example would look like:

    --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql
