I'm really not familiar with the PPC RPM's, so I don't know whether there
are  any quirks like this associated with using them.

First thing I would check would be the /etc/php.ini file & make sure all of
the mysql entries are set to what they should be.  You'll find comments in
the file telling you what the various settings are for.  Give that another
look & see if anything is fouled up there.  Make sure you restart apache if
you modify php.ini.

Aside from that, really not sure.  The error plainly tells you what the
problem is, but you seem to have gotten conflicting info from phpinfo().
Dunno.  If all else fails you may try removing the php rpm & building from
source with the '--with-mysql[=DIR]' flag.

Good luck.
