I am trying to recompile php 5 with freetds so am using this :

which specific version? try another [pristine] src tarball.

./configure '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs' '--with-mysql=/root/mysql-standard-4.1.9-pc-linux-gnu-i686' '--with-mssql=/usr/local/freetds'

you found freetds there I take it? (I saw your previous related post)

Things seem ok so I do make and at the end of make I get this error: /usr/bin/ld:ext/mssql/php_mssql.lo: file format not recognized; treating as linker script /usr/bin/ld:ext/mssql/php_mssql.lo:2: syntax error collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [libphp5.la] Error 1 I then did make install and of course got the same error: /usr/bin/ld:ext/mssql/php_mssql.lo: file format not recognized; treating as linker script /usr/bin/ld:ext/mssql/php_mssql.lo:2: syntax error collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [libphp5.la] Error 1 I then do make clean. Of course, it doesn't seem to regenerate the libphp5.so so once I restart apache, and check out phpinfo, it shows the old

'make clean' doesn't install anything. it's the 'make install' that would install the .so if the error didn't occur. no?

'make clean' undoes all of the compiling, so you have to do at least 'make' again (maybe configure too, can't remember off hand). <snip>

make clean removes the compiled binaries from the source tree. It won't effect anything installed with 'make install' (ie in it's system locations). You don't *have* to reconfigure after a make clean, but it won't hurt (not to mention that you might want to remove config.cache if it exists). So, to the OP, 'make clean' will not touch your previous install of php. Since your 'make' failed, it didn't finish compiling the binaries and you wouldn't be able to do a 'make install' As to why your make is failing, I don't know. ;) -- By-Tor.com ...it's all about the Rush http://www.by-tor.com
