#22102 [Com]: Link fails with modified mysql path

ID: 22102 Comment by: ptribble at hgmp dot mrc dot ac dot uk Reported By: allen012 at attbi dot com Status: No Feedback Bug Type: MySQL related Operating System: Solaris 8 PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: With PHP 4.3.8, just as the original bug says, you get this error on Solaris. ./configure --with-mysql=/opt/sfw/mysql and then eventually: ld: fatal: file /opt/sfw/mysql/lib/mysql/.libs/libmysqlclient.so: open failed: No such file or directory Which is quite correct. There is no such file. There is no such directory. The library is in: /opt/sfw/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so which is exactly where it's supposed to be. It's libtool (presumably) that has modified the location and added the .libs element, and presumably it's picked up the line installed=no from libmysqlclient.la. Changing this line to yes allows the build to proceed.

Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-07 23:29:00] sniper@php.net Looks like broken mysql installation. How was it installed? Compiled from sources or from Mysql AB provided binaries? In /opt/sfw/mysql/lib/mysql/ check if there is libmysqlclient.la file and paste it's content here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-07 13:20:06] allen012 at attbi dot com Exact output is: ld: fatal: file /opt/sfw/mysql/lib/mysql/.libs/libmysqlclient.so: open failed: No such file or directory ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to .libs/libphp4.so Again, why is it lokking for the MySQL client library in ".libs" ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-02-06 21:15:54] allen012 at attbi dot com Environment: Gnu installation (GCC, MySQL, etc) from Solaris 8 Companion CD, Apache 2.0.44, PHP 4.3.0, MySQL 3.23 Apache compiled and runs fine in the environment. PHP: ./configure --with-mysql=/opt/sfw/mysql --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs PHP configure runs fine, and the build works up to link. It then fails with: Cannot find /opt/sfw/mysql/lib/mysql/.lib/libmysqlclient.so Where is the ".lib" coming from? The link also indicates that it has failed to create .lib/libphp4.so Again - what gives with the ".lib"? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22102&edit=1
