Okay, this is a very common problem which has been covered many times 
on the list, and also on the PHP site- www.php.net.

The problem is that your system is not finding the libmysqlclient.so 
file, so you need to tell the system where to find it.  On a RaQ3, 
you have to add the path to the file into /etc/ld.so.conf and run 
/sbin/ldconfig to make the library available to the system.  I 
presume this is the same as the RaQ4.

For example, if libmysqlclient.so is in /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql 
then add the following line to your /etc/ld.so.conf file:

/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql
