I'm a little confused here.  At first I thought it might be that php was 
compiled with some part of the mysql support missing, but if it's 
packages, that should be fine.

The only other thing that comes to mind is the new SE Linux stuff that's 
in fc3.  Try turning that off (it's under security settings, I think), 
it'll require a reboot.
