mysqlclient header files?

I've installed mysql with the configure line: ./configure --prefix=/
opt/itools/

when I try to compile php-5.2.1 it gives an error about not being able
to find mysqlclient and that it isn't included with mysql anymore.
I've checked on the system and indeed they do not exist. Ok, I
understand that it isn't included any longer, but what do I need to
install in order to get the header files?

solaris 9
mysql 5.0.33
php 5.2.1

in <mysql source dir>/include I see some header files. Are these the
ones which php is looking for? If so why wouldn't they be copied over
to the mysql/include or /usr/local/include directory upon installation
of mysql?

If you compile MySQL by yourself, then "make install" will install the
MySQL header files into $PREFIX/include/mysql/.

When you configure PHP, you have to tell it where to find MySQL:
../configure ... --with-mysql=/opt/itools

This is how it worked with past versions of PHP. In the meantime MySQL
provides mysql_config, that can tell you what compiler/linker settings
to use (mysql_config --cflags/--libs). Maybe PHP adopted to use
mysql_config now. In that case I would expect you should use
../configure ... --with-mysql=/opt/itools/bin/mysql_config

Consult the PHP README.

installing mysql with flag: --enable-thread-safe-client
seems to fix the issue.
