Thanks for the replies Carl and Chris,
Indeed, I did find that information on google before, sorry forgot to 
mention that :P The thing is I can't really find how to get mysql 
support.  I thought it was as simple as having php4-mysql installed, 
which I do.... I'm using ubuntu hoary.  Perhaps I should just install 
all the required packages from source and make sure I get mysql support 
in there.  Previously I had just used the distro's default packages 
including the one for mythweb.
