I fixed one thing which might have caused this. --Jani Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-11-01 16:44:19] jasonw@rpdesign.com Short version: I ran ./configure with --with-mysql=/usr (among other things... see below) I got a compiler error (output below) that said "cannot find -lmysqlclient". I believe this is because the compile command (below) should contain "-L/usr/lib/mysql". this flag is in config_vars.mk as follows: MYSQL_LIBS = -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -L/usr -z I also found this line in config_vars.mk: PHP_RPATHS = /usr/lib/mysql I wonder if that should have a -L in it... ------------ Solution (ok hack...) ------------ I got php to compile by adding -L/usr/lib/mysql to the following line in config_vars.mk starting with "EXTRA_LIBS = " --------------- References --------------- Firstly, all the options I passed to ./configure: ./configure 'i386-redhat-linux' '--prefix=/usr' '--exec-prefix=/usr' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--sbindir=/usr/sbin' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--includedir=/usr/include' '--libdir=/usr/lib' '--libexecdir=/usr/libexec' '--localstatedir=/var' '--sharedstatedir=/usr/com' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--prefix=/usr' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--disable-debug' '--enable-pic' '--disable-rpath' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs' '--with-bz2' '--with-curl' '--with-db3' '--with-dom' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' '--with-gd' '--with-gdbm' '--with-gettext' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-mm' '--with-openssl' '--with-png' '--with-regex=system' '--with-ttf' '--with-zlib' '--with-layout=GNU' '--enable-debugger' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-yp' '--enable-wddx' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--without-unixODBC' '--without-oracle' '--without-oci8' '--with-xml' Seccondly, the relivant bit of the output from make: Making all in . make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jason/software/php-4.0.6' /bin/sh /home/jason/software/php-4.0.6/libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -I. -I/home/jason/software/php-4.0.6/ -I/home/jason/software/php-4.0.6/main/home/jason/software/php-4.0.6 -I/usr/include/apache -I/home/jason/software/php-4.0.6/Zend -I/include -I/usr/include/mysql -I/home/jason/software/php.0.6/ext/xml/expat/xmltok -I/home/jason/software/php-4.0.6/ext/xml/expat/xmlparse -I/home/jason/software/php-4.0.6/TSRM -DLINUX=22 -DEAPI -DEAPI_MMUSE_EXPAT -DEAPI_MM_CORE_PATH=/var/run/httpd.mm -DSUPPORT_UTF8 -DXML_BYTE_ORDER=12 -g -O2 -o libphp4.la -rpath /home/jason/software/php-4.0.6/libsvoid-version /usr/lib/mysql stub.lo Zend/libZend.la sapi/apache/libsapi.la main/libmain.la ext/zlib/libzlib.la ext/bz2/libbz2.la ext/curl/libcurl. ext/dba/libdba.la ext/domxml/libdomxml.la ext/ftp/libftp.la ext/gd/libgd.la ext/gettext/libgettext.la ext/mysql/libmysql.la ext/openssl/libopenssl.lext/pcre/libpcre.la ext/posix/libposix.la ext/session/libsession.la ext/sockets/libsockets.la ext/standard/libstandard.la ext/sysvsem/libsysvsem.la e/sysvshm/libsysvshm.la ext/wddx/libwddx.la ext/xml/libxml.la ext/yp/libyp.la TSRM/libtsrm.la -lpam -ldl -lmm -lmysqlclient -lz -lgd -ljpeg -lz -lxml2ldb -lgdbm -lcurl -ldl -lcrypto -lssl -lbz2 -lz -lcrypt -lssl -lcrypto -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl -lresolv /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmysqlclient collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [libphp4.la] Error 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=13902&edit=1
