The installer is installing pre-built binaries, no ./configure or make
is being run locally.
For PHP many things now (such as mysql and gd) are handled by modules
(just like for apache), take a look in /etc/php.d. MySQL support is
include with FC4, however it may not be selected by default in the
installer (it hasn't been in the past). If you install the php-mysql and
php-gd rpms you should be all set.
