#42926 [Opn]: configure fails when using 64-bit mysql, succeeds with 32-bit mysql distribution

ID: 42926 User updated by: mamfelt at acm dot org -Summary: building against 32-bit version succeeds Reported By: mamfelt at acm dot org Status: Open Bug Type: MySQL related Operating System: AIX 5.3 TL06 PHP Version: 5.2.4 New Comment: re-submit now i understand what the summary does. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-11 17:08:17] mamfelt at acm dot org After switching to 32-bit distribution the configure process completes successfully. :) +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ Thank you for using PHP. michael@x054:[/home/michael/prj/php-5.2.4] btw. very nice to see these are read right away! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-11 14:01:26] mamfelt at acm dot org line 59490 and further as an example: if test -z "$PHP_LIBDIR"; then PHP_LIBDIR=lib fi for i in $PHP_LIBDIR $PHP_LIBDIR/mysql; do str="$MYSQL_DIR/$i/lib$MYSQL_LIBNAME.*" for j in echo $str; do if test -r $j; then MYSQL_LIB_DIR=$MYSQL_DIR/$i break 2 fi on AIX you could make the default directory PHP_LIBDIR=[b]mysql[/b] so that the string would be /usr/local/mysql/lib (rather than only having /usr/local/lib/mysql succeed) The code for locating the include directory would be assisted by a similiar patch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-11 13:49:15] mamfelt at acm dot org Hmm: second entry, threw my first reply away - learning here. One: When I first installed the AIX distribution from mysql six years ago, they suggested the symbolic link because the commands (scripts, etc.) expect /usr/local/mysql as the location. Two: The naming convention for AIX distributions is to state the lowest level of AIX needed to run the distribution on. As the aix5.2 distribution is the highest AIX level distributed it is intended for AIX 5.2 and AIX 5.3, but not for AIX 5.1 or before. Three: mysql is running with no (known) problems on my system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-11 13:24:31] jani@php.net And I don't think an AIX 5.2 package of mysql works with AIX 5.3: /data/home/michael/mysql-5.0.45-aix5.2-powerpc-64bit ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-11 13:21:51] jani@php.net Seems more like you're trying to outsmart both PHP and Mysql here. Why don't you just install the mysql libs like they should be installed and forget those hacks with symlinks? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
