#18608 [NEW]: PHP configure fails to locate MySQL header

From: dholeman1@cox.net Operating system: Redhat Linux 7.3 PHP version: 4.2.1 PHP Bug Type: MySQL related Bug description: PHP configure fails to locate MySQL header When running configure on the Redhat binary release of PHP 4.2.1 in order to include MySQL support (--with-MySQL=/usr/bin) the configure script fails to look in the specified folder for the MySQL header files and the script dies. The configure script is dedicated to looking only in usr/local and since downstream variables build on the path simply coding in a reference to the correct MySQL path does not work. There is a current php/mysql path patch but that addresses a different, SOCKS related, issue and not this one. The problem has been noted over the last two years with various earlier releases of PHP and MySQL. There are two current mentions of the problem at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-install&m=101437931602769&w=2 and http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-install&m=102239953422754&w=2, plus more if you google about the web. Configuring with the mysql directive but without the path uses the built in libraries but results in a warning that if MySQL is to be run as an Apache module the php muct be onfigured using the mysql path and not the default libraries. Note that removing the MySQL directive, deleting the configure.cache file and rerunning configure results in configure running to completion but with the same warning as above. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18608&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18608&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18608&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18608&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18608&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18608&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18608&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18608&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18608&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18608&r=globals
