Litespeed PHP Build: Configure: Error: Wrong MySQL Library Version Or Lib Not Found

Another error I ran into while attempting to build PHP via the Litespeed Admin Console. This error directly related to the MySQL libraries or the MySQL version. Below is more information on the error itself and how the error was resolved. This error was resolved by simply installing a couple MySQL packages via the yum package manager as shown below.

Litespeed PHP Build Error View Of Detailed Log:

I was able to get past this error in the Litespeed PHP build process by installing a couple MySQL packages via the yum package manager. I am pretty sure that simply installing mysql-devel would have solved the issue however I needed the other packages regardless so I installed them as well.

Install mysql-devel Via Yum Package Manager On CentOS Linux:

[root@dev ~]# yum install mysql-server mysql-devel php-mysql
