RE: [PHP] PHP Installation question

I have zlib-1.2.1.1-i486-1. Whether that is zlib-devel or zlib-dev I have no idea, and not sure how to find out. Sort of figured out the MySQL problem, but now I get an error when I run 'make'. This is not a biggie, but the other problem I need to get resolved.

So what am I doing wrong? Check if you have zlib-devel or zlib-dev package installed. You need this to be able to compile support into other applications. No idea how you do this on slackware. Also try specifying the path to zlib: --with-zlib=/usr for example. > Also, how do I find out where something is installed? i.e. zlib. If I > do a search on it I get hundreds of hits... No idea about slackware. Do a search or ask a slackware list/forum. > Last. In the above ./configure line I get a message from PHP saying I > am using the built in version of MySQL - if I point it to the actual > MySQL source directory I get the following error. > > configure: error: Cannot find libmysqlclient library under > ../mysql-5.0.22 Install the mysql-dev/devel &/or mysql-client packages most likely. Or point it to the right directory. You need to point it to the base of the mysql package. Eg if mysql is installed in /usr/local/mysql (so binaries are under /usr/local/mysql/bin & libs are in /usr/local/mysql/lib) then --with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql -- Postgresql & php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
