#36073 [NEW]: Source-compiled MySQL on x86_64 causes PHP configure failure

From: chris at spawnordie dot com Operating system: Linux/Any PHP version: 5.1.2 PHP Bug Type: Compile Failure Bug description: Source-compiled MySQL on x86_64 causes PHP configure failure Description: ------------ Please accept my apologies if this is already reported - I searched and didn't find it. When configuring PHP for x86_64, it is necessary to use: --with-libdir=lib64 When you compile MySQL from source, it does not place its files in lib64, but rather lib. MySQL was configured using: --prefix=/usr/local/mysql Configuring PHP using: --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql fails with this: checking for MySQL support... yes checking for specified location of the MySQL UNIX socket... no checking for MySQL UNIX socket location... no configure: error: Cannot find libmysqlclient under /usr/local/mysql. Note that the MySQL client library is not bundled anymore! This fixes the problem: cd /usr/local/mysql ln -s lib lib64 When PHP is configured using --with-mysql=<mysql_dir> and --with-libdir=<lib_dir>, it should search <mysql_dir>/<lib_dir> and then <mysql_dir>/lib Reproduce code: --------------- ./configure --with-mysql=<path/to/mysql> when MySQL is compiled from source code Expected result: ---------------- successful configure Actual result: -------------- configure fails with: checking for MySQL support... yes checking for specified location of the MySQL UNIX socket... no checking for MySQL UNIX socket location... no configure: error: Cannot find libmysqlclient under /usr/local/mysql. Note that the MySQL client library is not bundled anymore! -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36073&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36073&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36073&r=trysnapshot51 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36073&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36073&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36073&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36073&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36073&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36073&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36073&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36073&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36073&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36073&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36073&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36073&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36073&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36073&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36073&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36073&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36073&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36073&r=mysqlcfg
