I'm running FC3 and built PHP5 from source (and I'm in the process of 
learning PHP and MySQL), so my situation is different from yours, but I 
don't think there is a mysqli.so file. Have you run phpinfo()? It should 
show if mysqli support is there. I think that mysqli just uses the 
libmysqlclient.so file.

I'm using mysqli, and I don't have any mysqli.so file on my system.
