I can't seem to resolve the "You are using MySQL 4.1 server, but PHP is linked to old client libraries" error message:

If you are reasonably familiar with installing Unix programs from source and have the developer tools installed, you can recompile PHP from source code, passing --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql to have it use the libraries from the MySQL.

If that sounds complicated, you should probably first try the configuration options mentioned in the earlier paragraphs of http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html

Put the following in /etc/my.cnf:

[mysqld] old_passwords=1

This has been criticized as somehow being "less secure", but certainly no less secure than MySQL versions prior to the better password hashing scheme.
