I am trying to get PDO going on a new desktop with Ubuntu 6.06. I have installed php5, php5-dev, etc and have php5 working with no problems. I then did a pecl install pdo and that installed ok. When I run phpinfo() I get that PDO is activated and the drivers has no value. I am now trying to install pdo_mysql and getting the following: checking for PDO includes... checking for PDO includes... /usr/include/php/ext configure: error: You've configured extension pdo_mysql, which depends on extension pdo, but you've either not enabled pdo, or have disabled it. ERROR: `/tmp/tmptDnQ5L/PDO_MYSQL-1.0.2/configure' failed When I list the contents of /usr/include/php/ext I get: ls /usr/include/php/ext/pdo php_pdo_driver.h php_pdo.h Any ideas as to where i need to go from here?

I ended up just finding instructions on manually building the pdo_mysql driver. http://bhiv.com/category/linux/ I'll go and post a bug in the Ubuntu package lists and see if there is anything that can be done about how the packages are built, but at least I have a not so bad answer. I can build my php install 90% from packages and build one myself. Thanks for the help. Rick
