I really appreciate all of your help! Here is what I have done, I have added a link in my /usr/lib directory to point to the libmysqlclient.so.15 file.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Apr 23 06:47 libmysqlclient.so.15 -> /opt/mysql/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.so.15

Now when attempting to start apache I get the following:

/usr/local/apache2/bin>./apachectl start
httpd: Syntax error on line 114 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp5.so into server: ld.so.1: httpd: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/lib/libgd.so.2: symbol png_get_error_ptr: referenced symbol not found
/usr/local/apache2/bin>

I looks like the libgd is now complaining.
