Bug #1369: better set LD_LIBRARY_PATH rather than creating soft links to /usr/lib

From: tludwig@cybernet-ag.net Operating system: Solaris 2.6 PHP version: 3.0.7 PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: better set LD_LIBRARY_PATH rather than creating soft links to /usr/lib My Sybase server and client are located in /usr/local/sybase. So I entered: ./configure --with-sybase-ct=/usr/local/sybase --with-apache=../apache_1.3.3 --enable-track-vars when making apache a few steps later I received gcc -DSOLARIS2=260 -DUSE_HSREGEX ../apaci -o gen_test_char gen_test_char.o -Lmodules/php3 -L../modules/php3 -L../../modules/php3 -lmodphp3 -L/usr/local/sybase/lib -lcs -lct -lcomn -lintl -ltcl -lpam -lm -ldl -lsocket -lnsl -lresolv -lsocket -lnsl ./gen_test_char >test_char.h ld.so.1: ./gen_test_char: fatal: libcs.so: open failed: No such file or directory So despite "-L/usr/local/sybase/lib" the linker could not find the database library. In your INSTALL file you suggest the following: "[...]If you are not on Linux and you see this error, a quick-fix is to create a symbolic link to the shared lib from one of the directories on your link path. Something like 'ln -s /usr/local/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so /usr/lib'." Normally you do not really want to do this. Adding /usr/local/sybase/lib into the system environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH worked for me. -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe send an empty message to php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For help: php-dev-help@lists.php.net
