How to switch from mysqlnd to libmysql?

Hi there,
Latest version of LAMPP comes with php 5.3 and mysqlnd compiled with php by default. The new mysqlnd driver is incompatible with the mysql database on my shared host. The only solution I came up with is to switch to libmysql which works just fine. Any advice how to do that?

I am a linux newb, my guess is that I need to "recompile" php without mysqlnd am I right? If so, how do I do that?

Thank you for our help.

Ah, I decided to fudge it and simply installed a prior version of XAMPP without PHP 5.3. Tada!
