If you don't see a section labeled "mysql" then PHP was not compiled with
mysql support.  Try recompiling with just "--with-mysql" instead of with
"--with-mysql=shared,/usr".  PHP might be able to find the mysql libraries
it needs automagically, assuming you do have the mysql devel libraries installed.
If not, try "--with-mysql=/usr".  I've never used "shared" as a configure 
option, so can't vouch for it.
